Interactive drama presents one of the most challenging applications of autonomous characters, requiring characters to simultaneously engage in moment-by-moment personality-rich physical behavior, exhibit conversational competencies, and participate in a dynamically developing story arc. One way to advance the field and continue to make exciting progress is to develop building blocks needed for ...

A generic architecture for constructing interactive web-based components or subsystems is described. Examples of component types are custom content navigation and presentation components, interactive exercise and testing components, and an electronic catalogue and ordering system component. The instances of a component type are collections of structured data which share a common syntactic and s...

The most important problem in Interactive Narrative Environments like computer games or interactive fictions is called “the interaction dilemma” [2], an inevitable conflict between the designer's determinism and the user's freedom. An interactive storytelling systems needs to structure an intensive and meaningful experience at the same time as enabling the right development of a pre-authored pl...

We report on our experiences in distributed interactive data visualization. The experiences are based on previously published work [1, 2, 3]. 1 Distributed Data Management We have designed and developed a distributed blackboard architecture for interactive scientific visualization. The architecture is centered around a blackboard and satellite processes that produce and consume data. Satellites...

GREAT (Genome REgulatory Architecture Tools) is a novel web portal for tools designed to generate user-friendly and biologically useful analysis of genome architecture and regulation. The online tools of GREAT are freely accessible and compatible with essentially any operating system which runs a modern browser. GREAT is based on the analysis of genome layout -defined as the respective position...

This paper describes recent progress on the TRIPS architecture for developing spoken-language dialogue systems. The interactive poster session will include demonstrations of two systems built using TRIPS: a computer purchasing assistant, and an object placement (and manipulation) task.

Dialogue systems are widely used in AI to support timely and interactive communication with users. We propose a general-purpose dialogue system architecture that leverages computational argumentation perform reasoning provide consistent explainable answers. illustrate the using COVID-19 vaccine information case study.

2 This paper describes the design of an interactive architecture of a web based Personal Healthcare System for cognitive rehabilitation which will be affordable, customizable and capable of delivering continuous, cognitive rehabilitation at home.

Designing and developing an interactive narrative experience includes development of story content as well as a visual composition plan for visually realizing the story content. Theatre directors, filmmakers, and animators have emphasized the importance of visual design. Choices of character placements, lighting configuration, and camera movements, have been documented by designers to have dire...

The ongoing convergence between TV and the Internet leads traditional broadcast companies to publish their content on the Internet. Interactive digital TV platforms, which support rich interactive multimedia applications, are targeted ever more frequently. New consumption platforms of this kind are predominantly built on Internet technologies, yet they have their own specific capabilities and l...
