TL;DR: A novel refinement search planning algorithm - the Intent-based Partial Order Causal Link (IPOCL) planner - is described that, in addition to creating causally sound plot progression, reasons about character intentionality by identifying possible character goals that explain their actions and creating plan structures that explain why those characters commit to their goals.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of computer science at North Carolina State University from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which the institution was founded.

TL;DR: The approach effectively integrates user action and system response into the unfolding narrative, providing for the balance between a users' sense of control within the story world and the user's sense of coherence of the overall narrative.

TL;DR: This work presents a narrative generation planning system for multi-agent stories that is capable of generating narratives with both strong plot coherence and strong character believability.

TL;DR: An interactive system defines a virtual space, whether the system’s interface provides access to the inhospitable planet of Stroggos or the Microsoft Windows desktop, where users interact with a place, one created by a computer and in which users and computational agents carry out their individual and collective activities.
