Big data has emerged as an important application domain which has shown its huge impact on scientific research, business, and society. Big data is known for its large volume, high velocity, and a variety of formats. The collection, storage, retrieval, processing, and visualization of big data issues many challenges to computer architecture and systems. This special section is an effort to encourage and promote research to address the big data challenges from the computer architecture and systems perspectives.展开更多

Since then, it has been an international academic journal sponsored by Tsinghua University and published bimonthly. This journal aims at presenting the state-of-art scientific achievements in computer science and other IT fields. From 2012, the journal enters into IEEE Xplore Digital Library with the open access mode. In 2015, Tsinghua Science and Technology has been indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded with IF 1.250.展开更多
