Abstract
Recently, a variety of organizations including enterprises tend to try to use reporting tools as a data analysis tool for decision making support because reporting tools are capable of formatting data flexibly. Traditional reporting tools have thin-client structure in which all of dynamic documents are generated in the server side. This structure enables reporting tools to avoid repetitive process to generate dynamic documents, when many clients intend to access the same dynamic document. However, generating dynamic documents for data analysis doesn't consider a number of potential readers and increases requests to the server by making clients input various parameters at short intervals. In the structure of the traditional reporting tools, the increase of these requests leads to the increase of processing load in the server side. Thus, we present the reporting tool that can generate dynamic documents at the client side. This reporting tool has a processing mechanism to deal with a number of data despite the limited memory capacity of the client side.
