CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on Cyber Worlds: Theories and Practices
November 6-8, 2002, Tokyo, Japan
PURPOSE
The First International Symposium on Cyber Worlds (CW2002) will take place in Tokyo, Japan, in November.
This symposium will include four tracks and will embrace the scopes of Methodologies, Software Engineering,
Modeling, Simulations, Developments and Applications of Parallel/Distributed Computer Systems and Networks,
Shape Modeling, and Computer Graphics. It will thus provide an opportunity for scientists,
engineers, and researchers from around the world to share the latest research,
ideas, and developments in these fields. The conference will include keynote addresses, contributed papers, and tutorials.
CW2002 will be held at Hosei University's Ichigaya campus, located in the central part of Tokyo.
Touring around the city, you will discover a towering architecture and many colorful attractions such as museums,
boutiques, and restaurants.
