19th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Data

We invite proposals for tutorials of general interest to the spatio-temporal data management/database/mining research and development community. Topics relevant to the SSTD conference are encouraged, with particular emphasis on emerging research areas or well-established fields that remain highly relevant. We welcome proposals that offer a comprehensive and insightful overview of the chosen topic, covering related literature. While presenters are welcome to highlight exemplary works, the tutorial should not focus exclusively on the presenters' own contributions.

Proposals must specify the intended length of the tutorial (up to 1.5 hours). If proposing multiple topics or a broader scope, please ensure the content is suitable for the 1.5-hour format. Additionally, proposals should indicate any previous venues where all or part of the tutorial has been presented and describe how this version differs from past iterations. The proposal should also define the target audience, outline the expected prerequisite knowledge, and explain the anticipated benefits for participants.

Tutorial submission deadline: May 4, 2025
Notification date: June 4, 2025
Camera-ready: TBD

All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

Submissions should be done from the link https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SSTD2025 selecting the tutorial track. Submissions should be at most 4 (four) pages, excluding references, with the same format as SSTD2025 research papers.

Each submission should include the following information:

Tutorial Title

• Tutorial Presenters: Name, affiliation, email, postal address, phone number, and a brief bio highlighting the presenters' expertise in the tutorial domain.
• Length: Specify the proposed length (up to 1.5 hours). Please ensure the content fits within the maximum duration.

Abstract

• Scope and Depth: Provide a detailed outline of the topics to be covered, including their scope and depth. If available, include a URL to previous slides or materials for evaluation purposes.
• Hands-on Tutorial: Indicate whether the tutorial will include hands-on components. Specify any required operating systems, software, tools, or equipment that attendees need to bring.
• Target Audience: Describe the intended audience, the expected prerequisites, the relevance of the tutorial to SSTD, and the anticipated benefits for participants.
• Prior Offerings: If any part of the tutorial has been presented previously, provide details such as the event dates, locations, and URLs to associated slides or notes. Highlight how this proposal differs from previous versions.
• References: A list of primary references that will be covered during the tutorial.

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.

Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
