8th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP 2013)

SMAP 2013

8th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization

December 12-13, 2013

Bayonne, France

technically co-sponsored by 

IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS)

and

IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS)

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 seven successful workshops (in Athens, London, Prague, San Sebastian,
Limassol, Vigo and Luxembourg), the SMAP conference 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. The workshop
is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
(CIS) and the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS). The
proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference
Publishing Services (CPS).

This year's keynote speakers will be Fabien Gandon (Senior Research
Scientist and Leader of the Wimmics team at the INRIA Sophia-Antipolis
Research Center) and Sergio Ilarri (Associate Professor at the University of
Zaragoza).


--------------
Aim and topics
--------------

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:
- Content creation, annotation and modelling for semantic and social web.
- Computational intelligence for media adaptation and personalization
- Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents.
- User modelling and dynamic profiling.
- Ontologies and reasoning.
- Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications.
- Web adaptation methods and techniques.
- Content customization and adaptation.
- Semantic context modelling and extraction.
- Context-aware multimedia applications.
- 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.
- Social multimedia applications (livecasting, audio-video sharing).
- User-generated content mechanisms.
- Adaptive / Personalized conversational media.
- Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g. semantic wikis).
- Social web economics and business.
- Social network aggregation.
- Privacy/Security issues in Social and Personalized Media Applications.

The 1-track, 2-day conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging
fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on ongoing research.
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.
