“…Di↵erently from previous attempts based on Propp's theory, this proposal constitute a more rigorous description of the original model in computational terms. In recent years, the extension of Propp's theory as a general story model has been questioned by several authors, especially in relation with the new media [19,101,47].…”

Abstract. This paper presents an ontological approach to the domain of drama. After a description of the drama domain in a cross-cultural and media setting, we introduce the ontology Drammar. Drammar consists of two components, encoding respectively the conceptual model and the SWRL rules. The conceptual model, mainly grounding in AI theories, represents the major concepts of drama, such as agents, actions, plans, units, emotions and values. Then, the paper focuses on the rule component that augments the representation by mapping the intentions of the characters onto the actions actually performed and by appraising the emotion felt by the characters in the drama. To illustrate the functioning of the ontology we introduce a running example from an excerpt of the drama Hamlet. Finally, we carry out an evaluation of the approach on an annotation task that is relevant for drama studies research and teaching. In particular, the emotion appraisal is tested on the main characters of four dramas of di↵erent nature, by computing precision and recall results with respect to a human annotator.

“…It is a real-time, firstperson dramatic world in which the player, visiting a married couple in their apartment, becomes entangled in the conflict dissolution of their marriage. The Façade interactive drama integrates real-time autonomous agents, and AI is applied [6] to manage the behavior of agents actors, thus the user never experience real or recorded human characters in this type of play. This paper discusses the new genre of Mobile Urban Drama.…”

Abstract. This paper introduces the novel concept of location-based Mobile Urban Dramas. In a Mobile Urban Drama the user become the main character in a play where actors' voices appear in the mobile phone headset linked to the physical setting in the city as the stage for the drama. The paper describes the dramaturgical concept and introduces a software framework supporting drama writers in developing such Mobile Urban Dramas. Experiences with use of the framework are discussed with successful examples of real dramas that have been developed and performed by a Danish theatre group, Katapult.

“…With virtually no other preprocessing or modeling, relatively high-quality stories can emerge. For example, consider the following story segment created by a user of the Say Anything system: Instead of relying heavily on narratology and other narrative theories often used for interactive storytelling [12], we rely on emergent properties to give the story its structure, feeling and style. Although other genres, such as role-playing games, also justify their narrative structure on emergent properties, we believe our approach is somewhat more justified on this reliance.…”

Abstract.Interactive storytelling is an interesting cross-disciplinary area that has importance in research as well as entertainment. In this paper we explore a new area of interactive storytelling that blurs the line between traditional interactive fiction and collaborative writing. We present a system where the user and computer take turns in writing sentences of a fictional narrative. Sentences contributed by the computer are selected from a collection of millions of stories extracted from Internet weblogs. By leveraging the large amounts of personal narrative content available on the web, we show that even with a simple approach our system can produce compelling stories with our users.
