By Matthew Lombard | Published: April 1, 2010

International Journal of Intelligent Decision Technologies

Call For papers

Special Issue on: “Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Reality and Distributed Virtual Environments”

Guest Editors:
Dr. Minhua Ma, University of Derby, UK
Prof. Nikolaos Antonopoulos, University of Derby, UK
Prof. Fionn Murtagh,  Science Foundation Ireland, Ireland; Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Aims and Scope 

The field of Virtual Reality (VR) is growing rapidly due to recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer graphics, and a network-centric environment that can deliver the technology. VR environments allow the development of promising tools in many application domains. VR applications usually integrate multiple local or distributed components, e.g. input device drivers, real-time simulation, and user interaction, into a framework. Aggregating components requires extra efforts on the software side as well as hardware. For instance, new complex input devices increase the number of components to manage and the need for parallel processing.… read more. “Call: Special issue on Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Reality and Distributed Virtual Environments”
