Conference on cyberworlds, Banff, Canada

An international conference on cyberworlds will take place from 4 to 6 October in Banff, Canada.

Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As information worlds, they accumulate information regardless of users, and may be with or without two- or three-dimensional visual graphics appearance.

- shared virtual worlds;
