We are happy to announce the publication of a NEW ISSUE of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research (JVWR):
Volume 9, Number 3: Edge 
Issue editor: Yesha Sivan, Coller Institute of Venture,
Tel Aviv University, Israel
A collection of 5 papers which suggest new angles and unique points of view, is presented in this Edge issue. Each of these five papers pushes the boundaries of the disciplines in a different way. Together, they demonstrate the dual value of the JVWR, first as a stage to explore the future of virtual worlds (defined broadly,) and then help to shape the future of real worlds.
