Scope


Cyberworlds are information spaces and communities that immensely augment the way weinteract, participate in business and receive information throughout the world.Cyberworlds seriously impact our livesand the evolution of the world economy by taking such forms as socialnetworking services, 3D shared virtual communities and massively multiplayeronline role-playing games. CW 2024 is the 23th conference organized annually since 2002.

Cyberworlds meets AI (Special track with a closed call to the participants of Campus Asia Plus Project : Asia Applied Artificial Intelligence Project)

This track focuses on how AI-empowered cyberworld technologies can address real-world issues, including healthcare, education, social inclusion, environmental conservation, agriculture and industry. By leveraging the capabilities of AI within virtual environments, these solutions aim to create a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. We invite submissions on integrating AI with cyberworld technologies to solve real-world problems. Topics include but limited to:

Healthcare:

  • Mental Health Services: AI-driven environments for health support and mental well-being.
  • Rehabilitation: Personalized AI&VR programs for physical therapy.

Education:

  • AI Educational Platforms: Virtual environments for personalized learning.
  • Vocational Training: AI simulations for skill development.

Social Inclusion:

  • Inclusive Environments: AI-powered spaces for accessibility.
  • Elderly Support: AI-driven virtual communities for the elderly.

Agriculture:

  • Precision Farming: AI simulations for optimized crop management.
  • Sustainable Practices: AI driven virtual training for sustainable farming.

Industry:

  • Smart Manufacturing: AI simulations for process optimization equipment failures prevention.

Workforce Training: AI &VR for skill and safety training.

Submission categories
  • Full paper – up to 8 pages
  • Short paper – up to 4 pages
  • Poster paper – up to 2 pages

Reviewing process

The authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that DOES NOT GIVE AWAY THEIR IDENTITY to avoid desk rejection. Please follow these guidelines while preparing and submitting your paper:

  • Remove any identifying information, including author names, from the paper title as well as all the file names and document properties.
  • Cite your own relevant papers in the third person, e.g., replace any phrases like “as we have shown before” with “it has been shown before”.‍
  • Make sure the figures and figure captions do not contain any affiliation revealing your identity.
  • Remove all references to funding sources.
  • Do not include acknowledgment.
CW 2024 Submission Instructions

Submission categories include: full paper (up to 8 pages), short paper (up to 4 pages), and poster paper (up to 2 pages) including references. Please note the different deadlines for the full/short and poster papers. The papers must be written in good English, carefully proofread, and formatted to A4 following the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

The authors are encouraged to submit the title and abstract first while the paper file can be submitted later. The submitted information, paper file and attachments can be edited by the authors as many time as needed before the submission deadline. 

Reviewing is double-blind. This means that the reviewers of the paper won’t get to know the identity of the author(s), and the author(s) won’t get to know the identity of the reviewer.

The authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity. Please follow these guidelines while preparing and submitting your paper:

  • Remove any identifying information, including author names, from the paper title as well as all the file names and document properties.
  • Write your papers in the third person to refer to work which was previously undertaken by you, e.g., replace any phrases like “as we have shown before” with “it has been shown before”.
  • Make sure the figures and figure captions do not contain any affiliation revealing your identity.
  • Limit self-references only to papers that are relevant for those reviewing the submitted paper.
  • Cite your own papers as follows: ‘[Anonymous, 2010]’ while in the reference list write, e.g., ‘[Anonymous 2010] Details omitted for double-blind reviewing.’
  • Remove all references to funding sources.
  • Do not include acknowledgments.
Publication Policy

By submitting a paper the authors confirm that their paper represents original previously unpublished work, and that if accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the paper/poster.The papers, which are registered but not presented at the conference, will not be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library — this is the requirement of the publisher.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS with all accepted papers will be published by Conference Publishing Services (IEEE CPS). Note that we require at least one non-student registration for each paper. This registration policy is not for each presenter : i.e., we require two registrations if a single presenter has talks for two papers. The accepted poster papers and posters will require a one-minute fast-forward oral presentation by the presenting author(s) who also have to display and present during the poster session a printed poster (A0 size). The poster authors are also encouraged to set up demos of their works.

JOURNAL PUBLICATION  The extended version of best FULL papers will be considered for publication in special issues of journals. The information on journal publications of past CW conferences can be found at https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/assourin/CW/cw-conferences.htm
