SMAP 2012 - 7th International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP)

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 the social web is a new trend becoming more and more important, the scope of the workshop is now extended to social aspects, seeking to bring together researchers from the social web and from the semantic web communities, under the umbrella of the media adaptation and personalization domain.
After six successful workshops ? in Athens, London, Prague, San Sebastian, Limassol and Vigo - the SMAP conference series has consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field.
The 7th SMAP workshop will be held in Luxembourg city, Luxembourg.
SMAP covers different issues of semantic technologies and social semantic technologies in their use for content creation, media adaptation and filtering, and user profiling. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Semantic content creation, annotation and modelling.
Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents.
User modelling and dynamic profiling.
Ontologies and reasoning.
Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications.
Semantic Web adaptation technologies.
Content customization and adaptation.
Semantic context modelling and extraction.
Context-aware multimedia applications.
Personalized information services in entertainment, learning, e-commerce, e-health, tourism, etc.
Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries
Multilingual content navigation.
Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities.
Intelligent personalized interfaces.
Multimedia standards.
Hybrid social and semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems
The 1-track, 2-days conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on ongoing research.
Proceedings are usually published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
SMAP 2012 is supported by the IEEE CIS Semantic Web Task Force and the IEEE-SMC Technical Committee on Intelligent Internet Systems.
Discussions are in progress to get the sponsoring from IEEE Systems, Man, & Cybernetics Society and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, as well as the Fond National de La Recherche Luxembourg (FNR)
