MOOsburg: Moving Towards a Wireless Virtual Community

Overview There are several examples of Multi-User Domains (MUDs) and MUD Object-Oriented (MOO) environments available for collaborative activities. One such example is MOOsburg: a community-oriented collaborative environment that models the town of Blacksburg. However, MOOsburg and similar kinds of collaborative environments have a limitation in terms of end-user applicability - they are all web based desktop applications. To expand the horizons of collaborative environments, the paper proposes a wireless and mobile application known as MOOsburg that will provide the end users with more than a desktop to work with. MOOsburg may be accessed from tiny commodities such as cellular phones, pagers, and PDAs, or mobile devices in general.
