I am in the final stages of an MsC thesis about a (hopefully) new
paradigm for designing virtual realities.

I know of the following paradigms:

...as Cooperative design/paradigm shifts (Meredith Bricken, Cyberspace
First Steps, MIT Press)

...as Microworld (Mark Green University of Alberta, Canada)

...as designing action (Brenda Laurel, Interface as Theatre, Addison-Wesley)

My question is, are there any other paradigms that have been written
up ? Are there any other paradigms that are more theoretical (as
opposed to pragmatic) ? Are there any other paradigms ?

You can email me (address below) or post to the group. I will attempt
a summary (though it may take a while, I am madly writing :-).

My main concern is to make sure I have am fairly representing current
paradigms.
