Recently, many excitingresults have been reported. In this fast growing field, Chinese researchers play more and moreactive roles. Research papers from Chinese scholars, both in China and abroad, appear in prestigiousacademic forums. In this paper, we, nine young Chinese researchers working in the United States,present concise surveys and report our recent progress on the selected fields that we are workingon. Although the paper covers only a small number of topics and the selection of the topics is farfrom balanced, we hope that such an effort would attract more and more researchers, especially thosein China, to enter the frontiers of database research and promote collaborations. For the obviousreason, the authors are listed alphabetically, while the sections are arranged in the order of theauthor list.展开更多
