About

Co-sponsored by the Vice President’s Office of Virginia Tech, the Vice President’s Office of George Mason University, the NSF-sponsored Spatiotemporal Innovation Center (STC), the Spatial Data Lab project (SDL), the Future Data Lab, and the Journal of Urban Informatics, this symposium aims to promote replicable and expandable spatiotemporal data science with new methodology and innovative technology. The symposium will discuss open data sources, advanced methodology, and cutting-edge technology with a focus on spatiotemporal data sciences.

The symposium will feature plenary speakers, parallel sessions, and posters. The program will include onsite and online sessions. The organization committee plans to select a group of high-quality papers presented at the symposium and recommend them for publishing in a special issue at the Journal of Urban Informatics. Papers submitted for consideration of the special issue still need to go through a regular review process. This symposium will offer an excellent opportunity for participants to network, collaborate, and learn about recent developments in spatiotemporal data science.

Date: Tue – Wed, Jul 23 to Jul 24, 9:00am – 5:00pm 

Location: Virginia Tech Research Center – Arlington & George Mason University – Mason Square
