[Air-l] Internet topologies

[Ruth Kaufman]

Thanks Moses and Frank. One thing that I think what would be useful
would be papers about practical applications of concepts in urban
planning and architecture to online user experience design.
So far I've found this, but have not read it yet:
Building Virtual Cities: applying urban planning principles to the
design of virtual environments
http://tinyurl.com/ffef .

I am also interested in reading about perceptions of public and private
spaces in virtual environments, research into what kinds of "virtual
signposts" have emerged in user experience design, whether by design or
by social production, and thoughts on cognitive mapping in cyperspace.
I'm not particularly interested in data or network topology
visualization tools. This is prep work for a redesign of a very large
corporate web presence, not an analysis of cyberspace, in general.


Thanks in advance!
Ruth
