The 13th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation
and Personalization (SMAP 2018) will take place in Zaragoza (Spain), on 6th and
7th September 2018. SMAP 2018 will be organized with the support of the Aragón
Engineering Research Institute (Instituto de Investigación en Ingeniería de
Aragón, I3A) - University of Zaragoza.
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. However, as Social Media applications
have substantially transformed the way organizations, communities, and
individuals interact, we have the scopes of SMAP extended towards this new
trend, seeking to bring together researchers from the social web as well as
from the semantic web communities.
After twelve successful workshops starting from Athens (2006), and then
London (2007), Prague (2008), San Sebastian (2009), Limassol (2010), Vigo
(2011), Luxembourg (2012), Bayonne (2013), Corfu (2014), Trento (2015),
Thessaloniki (2016), and Bratislava (2017), the SMAP workshop series has been
consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances
in the field.
Aim and topics
SMAP 2018 aims to address several issues of semantic and social
multimedia technologies and their use in content creation, media adaptation and
user profiling. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Content creation, annotation and modeling for semantic and social web
- Computational intelligence for media adaptation and personalization
- Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents
- User modeling and dynamic profiling
- Ontologies and reasoning
- Multimedia standards
- Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications
- Recommender systems for mobile users
- Web adaptation methods and techniques
- Hybrid social and semantic approaches to profiling, recommendation engines or adaptation systems
- Social multimedia applications (livecasting, audio-video sharing)
- Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities
- User-generated content mechanisms
- Privacy/Security issues in Social and Personalized Media Applications
- Privacy preserving data mining and social networks
- Content customization and adaptation
- Semantic context modeling and extraction
- Context-aware multimedia applications
- Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries
- Multilingual content navigation
- Intelligent personalized interfaces
- Social and semantic media collaboration platforms (e.g. semantic wikis)
- Social web economics and business
- Social network aggregation
- Social data analytics
- Social data mining
- Adaptive/Personalized conversational media
In addition, SMAP 2018 seeks special sessions proposals addressing
emerging issues in all the above aspects, that will complement the regular
program. If you are interested in organizing a special session, please submit a
proposal including a title, abstract/motivation, and if possible a list of
potential authors that could be interested in the special session. Authors will
have the opportunity to present their work in short papers that will appear in
the official SMAP 2018 workshop proceedings.
Important dates
Special session proposals: January 30, 2018Special session approval: February 7, 2018- Paper submission deadline: April 23, 2018
- Notification of acceptance: June 26, 2018
- Camera-ready submission deadline: July 4, 2018

of Zaragoza is expected to be closed from August 1 to August 14, 2018, and with
more limited support for administrative services since mid-July until the end
of August.
Submission guidelines
Each submitted paper will be refereed by at least three members of the
SMAP 2018 Program Committee, based on its relevance, originality, significance,
technical soundness and clarity of expression.
Submissions must be in English, and can present mature research or
experimental results as well as promising work in progress. Papers must be
formatted according to the IEEE 2-column conference article style, with a limit
of 6 pages, including all figures, tables and references. A minimum paper
length of 4 pages is also imposed.
As with all previous editions of SMAP, all accepted papers are planned
to be published by IEEE in IEEE Xplore. SMAP 2018 is supported by IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society (technical co-sponsorship).
For your convenience, you may use the LaTeX or MSWord templates. Papers
can be submitted via EasyChair in PDF format.
