To subscribe to the list, send a mail message to cve-request@cs.nott.ac.uk with a body of: SUBSCRIBE There is a (currently very minimal) web page associated with the list at: http://www.crg.cs.nott.ac.uk/~dns/vr/cve/ which among other things contains a list of current subscribers and links to their home pages. What is a Collaborative Virtual Environment? -------------------------------------------- A Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) is one that actively supports human-human communication in addition to human-machine communication and which uses a Virtual Environment (including textually based environments such as MUDs/MOOs) as the user interface. This is an exciting field with much potential for inter-disciplinary collaboration particularly in the fields of computer science, psychology, sociology, architecture & urban planning, cultural & media studies and Artificial Intelligence. -- Dave Snowdon Communications Research Group Tel: +44 (0)115 9514226 Department of Computer Science Fax: +44 (0)115 9514254 The University of Nottingham E-mail: dns@cs.nott.ac.uk Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK "This mind intentionally left blank"
