You are cordially invited to participate in SMAP 2011, the 6th edition of
the International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and
Personalization. 

The SMAP initiative 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. 
After five successful workshops –in Athens, London, Prague, San Sebastian
and Limassol–, the SMAP conference series has consolidated as a reference
event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field. 
The 6th SMAP workshop will be held in Vigo, Spain. 

The scope of SMAP 2011 covers different issues of semantic multimedia
technologies and their use in content creation, media adaptation and user
profiling, including the following topics of interest: 

• Semantic content creation, annotation and modelling.
• Semantics-driven indexing and retrieval of multimedia contents.  
• User modelling and dynamic profiling.
• Ontologies and reasoning.
• Semantics-based recommender systems: theory and applications.
• Semantic Web adaptation technologies.
• Content customization and adaptation.
• Semantic context modelling and extraction.
• Context-aware multimedia applications.
• Personalized information services in entertainment, learning,
e-commerce, e-health, tourism, etc.
• Adaptive and personalized multimedia summaries.
• Multilingual content navigation.
• Social multimedia tagging and multimedia content communities.
• Intelligen personalized interfaces.
• Multimedia standards.

The 1-track, 2-day conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging
fresh ideas and expertise, and for obtaining feedback on ongoing research.
