* PRESENTATION:

The 15th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP 2020) will take place in Zakynthos, Greece, on 1st and 2nd July 2020. SMAP 2020 will be organized with the support of University of Thessaly and 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 fourteen 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), and Larnaca (2019), the SMAP workshop series has been consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field.
