Data Warehouse Suggestions

[jose11au]

Hi All,
I'm currently completing my Master's degree and my majors are in decision support systems and data warehousing. I'm currently searching for an area of data warehouse to research but my ideas are very limited since I don't
have any valuable industry experience and I was wondering wether anyone has come across an area of data warehousing that is currently attracting attention in the industry or maybe a new area that is developing in data warehousing.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Many of the most important issues in DW'ing no longer lie within the DW itself...Here are couple of ideas, in and out of the DW

Developing Data Mining Algorithms in a DW
Measuring a DW's Return on Investment (ROI)
Developing cross-functional teams to ensure a successful DW
Real-time DW using an Operational Data Store ODS)
