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 which will initially contribute to the academic arena, but may also benefit the commercial community in the near future and encourage a dialog between practitioners and researchers.

Accepted papers have been presented at the conference and have been included in the proceedings, which have been published by Springer-Verlag as series 4605 of the LNCS Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. You can find information about it at here or access the online version at here.
