Abstract :
NetMorph is a mobile object system that provides a seamless integration of network and desktop. We introduce the notion of network location to desktop objects. By combining desktop 2D coordinates with network locations, NetMorph provides free intuitive cyber spaces. It helps computer beginners to acquire skills of network computing in a very natural way.
