摘要
Recent advances in database related applications propose many new challenges and have inspired database researchers and practitioners to further make their efforts on new database technologies. Currently, there are many related ongoing research fields, such as XML databases, data mining, data warehouses, data streams, database integration, moving object management, bioinformatics, peer-to-peer data systems and so on. In order to promptly reflect the advances and trends in the emerging fields, the Journal of Computer Science and Technology （JCST） decided to publish a special issue on new database technologies.
