# A. Call for Research / Demo / Industry Track Papers
Scope: The 19th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Data (SSTD)
expands its scope beyond traditional databases to embrace the broader and
rapidly evolving landscape of spatial and temporal data. While previous
editions focused on foundational database systems and techniques, this
year’s symposium welcomes research that addresses the full spectrum of
challenges and innovations in managing, analyzing, and leveraging spatial
and temporal data. We invite contributions spanning data management,
analytics, mining, machine learning, visualization, and real-world
applications across diverse domains, reflecting the growing significance of
spatial and temporal data in today's data-driven world. This expanded scope
aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and accommodate emerging
trends where spatial and temporal data intersect with cutting-edge
technologies.
SSTD 2025 solicits submissions in three tracks.
-Research Track
Authors are invited to submit long and short research papers presenting
original contributions. The selection criteria include quality, novelty,
correctness, and relevance to SSTD.
The short research papers are expected to discuss exciting new work that is
not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but
significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category
despite not having gone through extensive experimental validation or
lacking a strong theoretical foundation.
-Demo Track
We invite authors to submit demo papers featuring systems that are fully
developed or currently under development but reasonably complete and
mature. Demonstration proposals will be evaluated based on their novelty,
technical innovations, the challenges being addressed, and the overall
practical appeal of the showcased system.
-Industry Track
We invite the submission of industry papers that highlight practical
applications, address real-world challenges, share original insights and
demonstrate the successful translation of research into impactful solutions
for businesses and organizations.

A World Expo is an event that brings together people and innovations from
around the world in an effort to address issues facing humankind on a
global scale. The Osaka Expo 1970, the first World Expo held in Japan and
Asia, became a symbol of Japan's rapid economic growth and remains one of
the country's most significant events. Twenty years after the Aichi Expo
2005, Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai will welcome the international community back
to Japan.
*Schedule: April 13 to October 13, 2025 (184 days, including SSTD 2025
period: August 25-27)
*Venue: Yumeshima, Osaka (30-min by Osaka Metro from the SSTD 2025 venue)
*Website: https://www.expo2025.or.jp/en/
## Osaka Castle Park
Osaka Castle stands as one of Japan's most iconic landmarks, playing a
crucial role in the country's unification during the sixteenth century. The
castle museum showcases the history of both the castle and the city through
exhibits of historical artifacts, including samurai armor, weapons, and
important documents. Visitors can enjoy panoramic city views from the
castle tower, while the surrounding park is particularly famous for its
cherry blossoms in spring.
*Access: 20-min from the Nakanoshima Station (5-min by Osaka Metro plus
15-min walk)
*Website: https://osakacastlepark.jp/?lang=en
## Dotonbori District
Dotonbori represents Osaka's most popular entertainment district and
culinary destination. This energetic area is renowned for its spectacular
neon signs, iconic 3D signage (including the famous Glico Running Man), and
an abundance of restaurants serving authentic Osaka cuisine. Visitors
should try local specialties such as takoyaki (octopus dumplings),
okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), and kushikatsu (breaded and deep-fried
skewers).
*Access: 30-min from the Nakanoshima Station (15-min by Osaka Metro plus
15-min walk)
*Website: http://www.dotonbori.or.jp/en/
## Nakanoshima Island
The SSTD 2025 venue, Osaka University Nakanoshima Center, is located on
Nakanoshima Island, a sophisticated district in central Osaka just 5
minutes by metro or a pleasant 15-minute walk from Osaka Station. This
unique island, formed by the Dojima and Tosabori rivers, serves as Osaka's
cultural and business center, where historic architecture harmoniously
coexists with modern museums, galleries, and office towers.
