CyberMountain Colloquium
DEENA LARSEN

CyberMountain Colloquium
is designed to advance Web, hypertext, multimedia, and information management tools (Web based and others) and applications to new levels through collaborative interaction and discussion. This worldwide synergistic combination of people interested in creating hypertext systems and content will define significant issues for the next generations of hypertexts and the systems used to create them.

This colloquium features an intensive four day workshop (May 28 - June 2, 1999, Denver Colorado) and an international MOO session. System designers will meet with multimedia and hypertext creators, and other Internet information developers in an intense, round-the-clock workshop to test systems and applications. For more details about the workshop, see http://www.wordcircuits.com/htww/cyber.htm

The MOO will take place from 3 to 6 pm, Greenwich Mean Time, Wednesday June 2, 1999, starting with a keynote talk by Stuart Moulthrop. MOO sessions are usually merely online discussions. However, this session will be based on connected conferences throughout the world to incorporate face-to-face get togethers as well as a computer interface. All over the world, people will gather in schools, universities, churches, and businesses to talk about hypertext issues. They will then discuss these issues as a group on the MOO.

Walter Vannini, cyberspace architect, argues that "CyberMountain's MOO workshops will greatly extend what we can do face to face." The Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Dipartimento di Informatica is sponsoring the MOO at Little Italy. They have been researching ways to augment teaching and collaboration online for the past five years.
