| Abstract: | In certain limited domains (e.g., distance education, e-commerce, e-conference), intelligent virtual societies already play an important role. The realization of the intelligent virtual world requires communication and intelligent technologies, which include multimedia information retrieval, multimedia communications, distance learning, e-commerce, and intelligent agents, In this era of information explosion that the Internet has brought about, it is imperative to exploit intelligent technology for efficient and effective search of information. Without significant adoption and advances in intelligent technology, the intelligent virtual world will remain a fantasy. Intelligent information search also requires accurate interpretations of the semantics of the acquired information. We provide an overview of research issues in several technology areas that enable realization of the intelligent virtual world. | |
