MOOsburg: multi user domain support for a community network

摘要:

Paper presented at the Second International Network Conference, 3-6 July 2000, Plymouth, UK. Describes MOOsburg, a community oriented multi user domain. It was created to enrich the Blacksburg Electronic Village by providing real time, situated interaction, and a place based information model for community information. The researchers are experimenting with an implementation fundamentally different from classic multi user domains object oriented (MOOs), supporting distributed system development and management, and a direct manipulation approach to navigation. To guide the development of MOOsburg, they are focusing on a set of community oriented applications, including a virtual science fair.
