Cost analysis in construction projects using fuzzy OLAP cubes

In this paper a fuzzy multidimensional structure to analyze cost data in construction projects is proposed. As we will see, the use of a fuzzy structure provides a more intuitive use of the information associated to construction domain. This way, primary evaluation criteria in assessing the success of construction projects like economic objectives can be more friendly controlled. We propose both a fuzzy cost multidimensional structure and its implementation in Linguistic F-Cube Factory, a fuzzy OLAP system.
