Abstract
After many years of development centered around business applications, database systems are now recognized as a key technology in many new application areas being addressed by Computer Science today. We shall mention some of these applications, and the general sorts of advances in technology needed to support these applications. For example, there is a need to deal with databases of progressively larger size, containing data of a wide variety of types, and there is a need to perform operations of nonstandard kinds on this data. There is a need to combine data from widely distributed databases and integrating this data to form a useful whole.
