Hello netlogo-users,
I am writing to ask for your help in helping us to develop a new
NetLogo feature - client applets for HubNet.
This feature enables users to go to a web page and participate in
persistent simulations (i.e. simulations that remain up for users to
connect to over long periods of time).
It is difficult for us to set up experimental conditions to test these
persistent simulations with significant numbers of users.
That's where your help is needed and would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to set up a few times where we will hold "participatory
events" and I ask you to go to a web page at that time and spend a few
minutes participating in these simulations. 15 minutes of your time
should be plenty to conduct a test if we have enough participants. You
can participate with a group of users in the same room, or just come
yourself and be one of many from the internet. The activity we will
test is called bughunt.
We'll hold our first four events this week at:
Tomorrow, Thursday at 11:30 AM CST. URL - http://monk.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
Tomorrow, Thursday at 2:00 PM CST. URL - http://bughunt.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
Friday at 3:30 CST. URL - http://monk.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
Friday at 4 CST - http://bughunt.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
Note that CST is 6 hours earlier than UTC.
To participate, please go to the URL indicated at that time at (or
just before) the appointed time, login to the activity and play for
15 minutes or so.
After you participate, I'd really appreciate it if you would send a
message to [hidden email] letting us know how it went.
For example: Did it go smoothly? Was there a problem logging in to the
activity? Was logging in slow? (if so, please estimate what response
times you experienced) Was response time slow once you were playing?
(If so, please estimate what response times you experienced).
We'd be interested in your feedback on any issues you saw with the
technology itself or with the bughunt activity.
Please also include in your message the type of machine and browser
you are using.
Thanks and all the best,
--Uri
