13th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and
Personalization (SMAP 2018):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to several requests, we have extended the deadline for SMAP 2018
until May 24 (final deadline extension).
SMAP 2018: Call for Papers
* PRESENTATION:
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 Aragon Engineering Research Institute (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:

-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

* SPECIAL SESSION ON NAVIGATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF BIG LINKED DATA:
In addition, a Special Session on Navigation and Understanding of Big
Linked Data will be held within the context of SMAP 2018. If you are
submitting a paper to this special session, please indicate so through
EasyChair or notify the organizers.
Overview of the special session:
Today, we are assisting at a staggering growth in the production and
consumption of Linked Open Data (LOD) and in the generation of
increasingly large datasets. In this scenario, it is crucial to provide
special tools for researchers, domain experts, but also businessmen and
citizens to understand and interact with LOD resources. In this special
session, emphasis is drawn on the way data linked datasets might be
selected by looking among the diverse open data portals, explored in
order to understand their contents and queried to extract meaningful
information for the user. Special emphasis is put on facilitating
personalized knowledge extraction and in creating effective data
visualizations.
Topics for the special session:
-Using Linked Data for personalized services
-Dynamic profiling of Linked Data sources
-Adaptive and personalized Linked Data exploration
-Semantic annotation and information visualization
-Personalization and adaptation issues for Big, Open and Linked Data
-Linked Data widgets and dashboards
-Linked Data and social media applications
-Data journalism, analytics and visualizations based on Linked Data
-Personalized search and exploration on the Web of Data
-User modelling in Linked Data consumption
-Statistical analysis, statistical learning and data mining for Big
Linked Data
-Open government, transparency, advantages for citizens
-Big and open Linked Data to create smart cities
-Environmental and agricultural data
-Health data and intelligent systems
-Active and healthy ageing data analytics
