The International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases 2011 (SSTD 2011) is the twelfth event of a series of biannual symposia that discuss new and exciting research in spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal data management and related technologies and start setting 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 2015 will be held in Seoul, South Korea, August 26-28, 2015 at Center Mark Hotel, which is located at Insa-Dong, the most tourist place in Korea.

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or experience repots. Similar to the previous symposia, accepted papers will be published by Springer as proceedings in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (pending approval). The space limit for full papers is 18 pages LNCS style. Details about the submission process can be found http://stem.cs.pusan.ac.kr/SSTD2015.
