The International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases (SSTD 2017) is
the 15th event of a series of biannual symposia that discuss new and exciting
research in spatial, temporal and spatio‐temporal data management and related
technologies with the goal to set future research directions. The primary focus
of SSTD symposia is on original results in the areas of theoretical
foundations, design, implementation, and applications of spatial and temporal
database technology. SSTD also welcomes experience reports from application
specialists and the commercial community that describe lessons learned in the
development, operation, and maintenance of actual systems in practical and
innovative applications. The goal is to exchange research ideas and results
across academia, industry and government from diverse geographies, and career
stages.
SSTD 2017 will be held in the Washington, D.C. area at the George Mason
University campus in Arlington, Virginia, USA.
Authors are invited to electronically submit original, English-language
research contributions or experience reports not concurrently submitted
elsewhere. Categories of invited submissions can be found below. Submitted
papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for quality, correctness,
originality, and relevance. Similar to the previous symposia, accepted papers
will be published by Springer as proceedings in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS). Details about the conference, dates, and submission can be
found at http://www.sstd2017.org/.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following in context of spatial,
temporal and spatio-temporal databases:
- Access Method
- Big Data
- Computational Geometry
- Critical Evaluation of Standards Proposals
- Crowdsourcing Spatial Data
- Database Design and Conceptual Modeling
- Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
- Data Quality and Cleaning
- Data Types and Query Languages
- Data Warehousing and Decision Support
- Experiments, Benchmarks and Performance Evaluation
- Geographic Information Retrieval
- Graph Modeling and Algorithms
- Keyword Search in Databases
- Indoor Space
- Ontologies and Taxonomies
- Parallel and Distributed Databases
- Privacy, Security and Integrity
- Query Optimization
- Real Applications and Systems
- Recommendation Systems
- Spatial (Road) Networks
- Sensor Networks
- Spatial Data Streams
- Uncertain, Imprecise and Probabilistic Data
- User Interfaces and Visualization
- Web Information Retrieval
The SSTD 2017 invites original submissions in the following categories (tracks):
Research Papers:
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or experience
reports not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
The space limit for research papers is 18 pages, LNCS style.
Industry Track Papers:
In this track, authors are invited to submit papers that describe original
experiences, challenges, systems, and applications in industry to be presented
during the conference.
The space limit for industrial papers is 18 pages, LNCS style.
Demonstration Papers:
Demo submissions should have a maximum of 5 pages in LNCS format and will be
included in the proceedings. Up to 4 pages are to be used to describe the
scientific background, and one additional page should describe the nature of
the demonstration that will be given at SSTD 2015.
A submission should include the motivation for the demonstrated concepts,
information about the technology and the system to be demonstrated (including a
system description, functionality and figures when applicable), and a
justification of the system's significance.
Vision & Challenge Papers:
For this track we encourage you to submit short papers (maximum of 4 pages in
LNCS format) containing revolutionary and visionary ideas in the area of
spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal data management. Vision/Challenge
submissions should have with the following properties:
- The ideas proposed within your paper will likely guide research in the near
future
- Your thoughts challenge existing assumptions that are prevalent in the
research community
- You identify novel applications and technology trends that create new
research challenges
While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight
and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Accepted contributions
will be presented at a special session during the symposium and will be
included in the proceedings of SSTD 2017.
