6.036 addresses Participatory Infrastructures, the synergy of

• Availability Infrastructures
  (not only at a workstation, e.g., wireless)
• Interaction Infrastructures
  (e.g., for negotiating, coordinating, cooperating, collaborating, competing)

Through team projects, students will develop experience using the methods, principles, and technologies of Participatory Infrastructures. Student teams will learn Participatory Semantics as they build a web site (using Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.) to provide services for fellow students.

Suitable for advanced computer science students.
