* PRESENTATION:
The 16th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media
Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP 2021) will take place online
on November 4-5, 2021. SMAP 2021 will be organized with the
support of Ionian University.
The Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization
(SMAP) workshop is the evolution of the Semantic Media Adaptation
and Personalization initiative, which was founded back 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 nowadays substantially transformed the way
organizations, communities, and individuals interact, the scopes
of SMAP were extended towards the social aspect, seeking to bring
together researchers from the Social Web, as well as from the
Semantic Web communities.
After 15 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), Bratislava (2017),
Zaragoza (2018), Larnaca (2019), and Zakynthos/Online (2020), the
SMAP workshop series has been consolidated as a reference event in
order to discuss about the newest advances in the field.
