Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by
collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As
information worlds, they accumulate information regardless whether or not
anyone is in, and they can be with or without 2D or 3D visual graphics
appearance. The examples of such cyberworlds are communities created in
different social networking services, 3D shared virtual environments, and
multiplayer online games. Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world
and have a serious impact on it, augment and sometimes replace the real life
and become a significant component of real economy. The international
conferences on Cyberworlds have being organized annually since 2002 with the
proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and special issues published
in multiple journals,including The Visual Computer and Springer Transactions
on Computational Science. Cyberworlds 2013 will be organized by the Society
for Art and Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University,
