Exploring New Approaches to Narrative Modeling and Authoring

Despite a long tradition of interactive storytelling (IS) researchers drawing inspiration from narratology, and recent interest by narratologists in interactive storytelling, there is still a gap between the two fields. Even when IS researchers make use of narrative models, it is not clear how authors use these models. This workshop brings together narratologists, developers of IS authoring systems, and creative practitioners to share their experiences, and prototype new approaches to authoring, grounded both in the needs of au-thors, and in recent approaches to narratology and narrative modeling
