FlowCube: Constructing RFID FlowCubes for Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Commodity Flows

Summary: Introduces FlowCube, an OLAP warehouse for RFID commodity flows whose cells store multi-resolution flowgraphs rather than scalar aggregates. Efficient construction jointly aggregates paths, prunes low-support segments, and compresses redundant or sparse cuboids. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
