20th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP 2025)
The Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (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 and social media adaptation. After 19 successful workshops—in Athens, London, Prague, San Sebastian, Limassol, Vigo, Luxembourg, Bayonne, Corfu, Trento, Thessaloniki, Bratislava, Zaragoza, Larnaca, thrice online, Limassol, and Athens—the SMAP workshop series has been consolidated as a reference event in order to discuss about the newest advances in the field, including a 2-day single main track of high-quality scientific papers. The 20th SMAP workshop will be held both onsite and online on November 27–28, 2025, and it will be hosted by the Knowledge and Uncertainty Research Laboratory, University of the Peloponnese.
