The article focuses on the narrative analysis of novel "The Painter" by T. Shevchenko in order to trace how strategy text contributes actualization writer's self-alienation phenomenon from his own colonized "I". is based system proposed Gerard Genette: types narration (mimesis and diegesis) are defined, focalized, who tells story (types narrators), time expressed story, words thoughts (discours...

Mimesis theory is one of the primitive skill of imitative learning, which is regarded as an origin of human intelligence because imitation is fundamental function for communication and symbol manipulation. When the mimesis is adopted as learning method for humanoids, convenience for designing full body behavior would decrease because bottom-up learning approaches from robot side and topdown tea...

Keystroke dynamics refer to information about the typing patterns of individuals, such as the relative timing when the individual presses and releases each key. Prior studies suggest that such patterns are unique and cannot be easily imitated. This lays the foundation for the use of keystroke biometrics in authentication systems. The research effort in this area has thus far focused on novel de...

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. Users of both these systems interact with a place, one created by a computer and in which users and computational agents carry out their individual and collective activities. The intuitive and often-discussed benefit of a well-des...

Crucial in Girard’s Mimetic Theory is the notion of mimetic desire, viewed as appropriative mimicry, the main source of aggressiveness and violence characterizing our species. The intrinsic value of the objects of our desire is not as relevant as the fact that the very same objects are the targets of others’ desire. One could in principle object against such apparently negative and one-sided vi...

Digital Interactive Storytelling (DIS) is a relatively novel area of computer entertainment which aims at investigating interactive applications capable of generating consistent, emergent and rich stories. To provide new solutions for DIS, we have proposed a novel multi-agent DIS framework, DIEGESIS, which includes agents' coordination and new planning and replanning solutions for DIS. A natura...
