We proposed a semantic approach to multimedia document adaptation which was temporally defined with regards to the Allen algebra of relations. This paper extends this framework to the spatial dimension of SMIL documents. Our goal is to find a qualitative spatial representation that computes a set of adaptation solutions close to the initial document respecting the adaptation constraints. The quality of an adaptation can be regarded on two respects : expressiveness of adaptation solutions and computation speed. In this context, we characterize the adaptation quality of existing spatial representations. We show that these representations do not allow for optimal quality. Thus, we propose a new spatial representation which is sufficiently expressive to adapt SMIL documents faster.} }
