Cyberworlds are information worlds created on cyberspaces either
intentionally or spontaneously, with or without visual design.
Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world and have a serious
impact on it. CW2005 will provide an opportunity for scientists and
engineers from around the world to share the latest research, ideas, and
developments in these fields. The conference will consist of formal
paper sessions, short/poster presentations, panels, tutorials, cyber art
exhibition, industrial seminars, and hands-on demonstrations where
research groups, artists, and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in
the field. The conference will have four parallel tracks including but
not limited to the following topics:

Track A:
    - Shared Virtual Worlds
    - Distributed Virtual Environments
    - Collaborative Design and Manufacturing
Track B:
    - Information Retrieval and Information Security
    - Data Mining and Warehousing in Cyberworlds
    - HCI and Humanised Interfaces in Cyberworlds
Track C:
    - Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of Cyberworlds
    - Business Models in Cyberworlds
    - Cyberlearning
Track D:
    - Cyberculture and Cyberarts

PUBLICATION:
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society. We will accept papers up to 8 pages in length, including
