Advances in Spatio-Temporal Data Analysis and Mining

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent rapid developments in mobile positioning technologies and the advances in massive dynamic data handling, spatio-temporal data analysis and data mining are witnessing significant growth in both research and development. New methods and trends in mobility data management, geographic knowledge discovery, semantic modeling, interoperability, open and linked-data, big data analytics, and geo-visualization – to name a few – have drastically changed the way data are collected, modeled, managed, analyzed, shared, and mapped. In addition, the expectations of data consumers (users) are becoming higher and higher. This Special Issue seeks original research contributions in all aspects of spatio-temporal data analysis and data mining. The scope of submission encompasses, but is not limited to, the following themes:

- Knowledge discovery in spatio-temporal data

- Data Mining and Privacy of Mobility Data

- Geospatial Analytics for Big Spatio-Temporal Data, including relevant advances in geostatistics

- Geospatial Web Services for Spatio-temporal Data

- Geospatial Semantics and Linked Spatio-temporal Data

- Visualization and Mapping of Spatio-Temporal Data

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
