The Third International Workshop on Spatio-Temporal Database Management
in conjunction with VLDB 2006
September 11, 2006, Seoul, South Korea
http://isel.cs.pusan.ac.kr/stdbm06/index.htm
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managing spatially and temporally referenced data is becoming increasingly
important, given the continuing advances in wireless communications,
ubiquitous computing technologies and the availability of real datasets
to be managed. An exchange of ideas and a dialog between practitioners
and researchers will benefit both the academic and the commercial world
in the development of spatio-temporal database management.
The one-day third international workshop on Spatio-Temporal Database
Management will bring together leading researchers and developers in
the area of spatio-temporal databases in order to discuss state-of-the-art
as well as novel research in spatio-temporal databases. The workshop is
intended to serve as a forum for disseminating research and experience
in this rapidly growing area. The topical areas of interest include
(but are not limited to) the following:
- Data Modeling and Manipulation: This involves defining data semantics,
models, data types, and query languages for different types of
spatio-temporal data, including the modeling of uncertainty and
imprecision.
- Query Processing and Indexing: This involves techniques for query
optimization, indexing structures (and paradigms) for different types
of spatio-temporal data (e.g., trajectories and moving objects) and
different types of queries (e.g., spatio-temporal aggregations and
joins).
- System Architecture and Integration: Issues here include the concrete
realization of new techniques, i.e., building spatio-temporal
extensions into, or on top of, existing systems.
- Decision Support and Analysis: Topics here include spatio-temporal
data mining and data warehousing, as well as visualization techniques.
- Applications and Experimentation: This includes experiences with
real applications, including the architectural solutions, as well as
proposals of new and challenging applications. Another important
aspect for research in general is reproducibility and comparability
of results. Hence there is a need for standardization, i.e.,
spatio-temporal datasets and benchmarks.
Papers must be in English and should not exceed 8 pages in VLDB
formatting (http://aitrc.kaist.ac.kr/~vldb06/manuscript_preparation.html).
Papers should be in PDF format and should be submitted via the
workshop home page (http://isel.cs.pusan.ac.kr/stdbm06/). Each paper
must include a short abstract and a list of keywords indicating
subject classification. All accepted papers will be published in
on-line proceedings of CEUR
(http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS). Acceptance
of a paper means an obligation for at least one of the authors to
attend the conference and present the paper. The submitted material
must not be published or submitted for publication in other
outlets. Authors of selected best papers will be invited to submit an
extended version of their papers for inclusion in a major
international journal of GIS. For more information, please contact
one of the workshop co-chairs, Prof. Christophe Claramunt
(claramunt@ecole-navale.fr), Prof. Simonas Saltenis
(simas@cs.aau.dk), and Prof. Ki-Joune Li (lik@pnu.edu).
