Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E) researchers received major recognition at the 12th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases. A paper by Mohamed Sarwat, Prof. Mohamed Mokbel, Xun Zhou, and Suman Nath received the best research paper award. Another paper by Dev Oliver and Prof. D. Steinberger received the best vision/challenge paper award.
CS&E alumni in attendance included Dr. R. Vatsavai (USDOE-ORNL), Dr. Baris Kazar (Oracle), Dr. Betsy George (Oracle), Prof. Chi-Yin Chow (City University of Hong Kong) and Dr. Jim Kang (USDOD-NGA). Prof. Y. Huang (University of North Texas) and Prof. J. Yoo (Indiana University-Purdue University) served in roles of proceedings chair and publicity chair. CS&E graduate student Mike Evans served as the SSTD media chair, Pradeep Mohan led student volunteers, and Dev Oliver shaped a career fair.
CS&E hosted the 12th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases (SSTD) last week. Its program exhibited diversity across organizations (e.g., academic, industry, and government), geography (e.g. Europe, Americas, Asia, Australia), career stages (e.g., students, early-stage, mid-stage, and senior researchers), and research life-cycle stage (e.g., research papers, demonstrations, vision/challenge papers, keynotes). It was also featured on the prestigious CRA/CCC blog.
