============== SMAP 2012 | Call for Papers ===============

7th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and
Personalization (SMAP’2012)
December 3-4 2012, Luxembourg-city (Luxembourg)

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 six successful workshops –in Athens, London, Prague, San
Sebastian, Limassol and Vigo–, the SMAP workshop 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.

The 1-track, 2-day conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging
fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on
ongoing research. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS).

SMAP 2012 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man,&
Cybernetics Society. It 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 additional sponsoring from the Fonds National de La
Recherche Luxembourg (FNR).

Keynote speakers

• Dr. Lora Aroyo, associate professor at the Web and Media group, at the
Department of Computer Science, VU University
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
• Dr. Vania Dimitrova, lecturer at the School of Computing, University
of Leeds, UK.

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.
• 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

Submission Guidelines

Each submitted paper will be refereed by at least three members of the
Workshop Program Committee, based on its 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. The
proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society's
Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Papers must be formatted according
to the CPS formatting guidelines, with a limit of 6
IEEE 2-column style pages, including all figures, tables, and
