After four successful workshops, SMAP 2006 (Athens, Greece), SMAP 2007 (London, United Kingdom), SMAP 2008 (Prague, Czech Republic) and SMAP 2009 (San Sebastian, Spain) the Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization workshop series has consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field, including a 2-days main track of high-quality scientific papers.

The 5th SMAP workshop will be held in Limassol between 9-10 December 2010. The event will be organized by the Cyprus University of Technology (http://www.cut.ac.cy)
