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.
