　　Recently, the world’s leading institution Springer and the well-known science magazine Nature merged into Springer Nature. Before the mergence, Springer focused on scientific research, education and professional publishing. Now as Springer Nature, they launched the “Focus on Chinese Research” special, helping the world comprehensively understand the latest academic research and scientific publications in China. It is noted that two publications, Internetware and Spatial Data Mining , which BIT (Beijing Institute of Technology) scholars co-wrote are included in the magazine special of Computer Science Publications of High Influence in China. The former publication ranks second in representative publications of same field and is written by BIT Academician Mei Hong as its first writer. The latter ranks first in representative publications of same field and is written by BIT Professor Wang Shuliang as second writer.

　　Internetware comprehensively introduces internetware in the aspects of rationale, engineering techniques, operating platform, quality assessment and assurance, direction of future development and so on. It provides the guidance of this technology and gives lots of practical examples which is of great reference value to software engineers developing the internetware application. The book analyzes the development trend of internet software in detailed, forecasts the blueprint of research on software engineer and future Internet computer field and contributes greatly to the field.

　　In the aspect of big data, Spatial Data Mining puts forward a formalized method for spatial data mining, combines computer science and Geo-spatial information science together and pioneers the research of Spatio-temporal Data Mining and Nighttime Light Remote Sensing. The theory in the book has been applied in practical fields like “One Belt, One Road”, Israel war, public security, smart city, etc. It shows the value of spatial data in the current age of big data.

　　In recent years, with the rapid growth of Chinese research and development (R&D) spending and scientific output, Chinese excellent academic achievements have gradually become known worldwide and grasped the attention of foreign academic community, which greatly enhances the international influence of Chinese scientific researches.
