The wOrlds project is concerned with developing next-generationcollaboration frameworks. We strongly believe thatreal progress in enhancing the usability of collaborativesystems hinges on improving our understanding of work,and applying the resulting insights to development of collaborativework support frameworks. We are investigatingthe thesis that appropriate bases for such an approach canbe drawn from existing results in sociology, specifically thework of sociologist Anselm Strauss, and his notion ofsocial worlds. In this paper we motivate and overviewwOrlds, the collaborative environment we have built inorder to explore our ideas and insights. We then critiquewOrlds (and, by implication, the class of systems known asMUDS of which it is a member), and point to future directionsfor investigation. |
