TL;DR: The goal is to find general conceptual models and a vocabulary for authors in Interactive Narrative including the whole acting situation as conditions before and after the action.
Abstract: In Interactive Storytelling, authors need to conceive events in an indirect way, which differs from traditional storytelling that assumes to pre-define a linear order of narrated events. Actions of characters are to be described including the whole acting situation as conditions before and after the action. This concept is compared with narrative theory and illustrated by a practical authoring example. The goal is to find general conceptual models and a vocabulary for authors in Interactive Narrative.

TL;DR: This work presents a discourse-driven approach to narrative generation leveraging automated planning which can interleave construction of story and discourse while preserving modularity.
Abstract: During content planning, a typical discourse generation system receives as input a library of facts and selects facts to include as the content for utterances. However, storytellers do not need to be completely constrained by a set of facts and instead can invent facts which support the storytellers goals, subsequently constructing the storyworld around those facts. We present a discourse-driven approach to narrative generation leveraging automated planning which can interleave construction of story and discourse while preserving modularity.

Abstract: Literary historians have long debated the extent to which the Modernist novel broke with conventions established in the nineteenth century. One of the most hotly debated matters is the existence of an "inward turn," a rupture with the external orientation Realist and Naturalist novel in favor of greater psychological complexity and depth—that has been found in of the early years of Modernism by critics like Humphrey (1954: 8), Bradbury (1995 (1976)), and Sultan (1987) and in the late nineteenth century by critics like Levitt (2006) and Lewis (2007). One of the most common presuppositions about the purported "inward turn"—seldom tested—is that the linguistic innovations of the Modernist period aided in the portrayal of the mental states of characters from a more systematic perspective. This article reviews the debates over differences between Realist and Modernist techniques of thought representation, and uses quantitative techniques to assess the extent to which there was linguistic and stylistic innovation in the representation of thought in the French novel before and during the "inward turn" of the
