Abstract :
An I-Room is a virtual world "intelligent room" that can support collaborative meetings and activities, especially when these involve sense-making about a current situation, planning, considering options, and decision making. The combination of a virtual worlds meeting space and intelligent systems to support planning and decision making in an I-Room provides a readily understandable framework and generic architecture for a wide range of potential collaborative applications and uses.
