SMAP 2013 - The Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization

The Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP) workshop is the evolution of the Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization initiative, which was founded during the summer of 2006 in an effort to discuss the state of the art, recent advances and future perspectives for semantic media adaptation and personalization.

As social media applications have substantially transformed the way organizations, communities, and individuals interact, the scopes of the workshop are now extended towards this new trend, seeking to bring together researchers from the social web as well as from the semantic web communities, under the umbrella of the media adaptation and personalization domain.

After seven successful workshops –in Athens, London, Prague, San Sebastian, Limassol, Vigoand Luxembourg–, the SMAP workshop series has consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field.

The 8th SMAP workshop will be held in Bayonne (France), 12-13 December 2013.

The 1-track, 2-day conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on ongoing research. The workshop is technically co-sponsored by theIEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) and the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS). Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society’s Conference Publishing Services (CPS).

An Award will be given to the best paper presented at the workshop. The winners of the Award will be announced at the closing session of the workshop.
