Abstract
This paper explores the evolution of the concept of community in the light of computer mediated immersive
virtual environments. The traditional concept of community has become strained it its attempts to capture the
evolving virtual community. We believe the concept of the virtual community is of paramount importance and
examine the extent to which this is being redefined to cater for it. We examine the management and mediation of
such environments and specifically the social process associated with the cohabited users. We advocate the use
of multi-agent systems in delivering this functionality.
