Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed
on Internet either intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As
information worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms
of information modelling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is far
above the level of integrating spatial database models and temporal database
models. This conference will deal with large distributed information worlds on
Internet as well as methods and tools used for creating such
worlds.

limited to the following areas.
- Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of
