Aiming at the instability and uncertainty of mobile nodes and low-power wireless communications links in Ad hoc networks, a parallel disjointed multi-path routing algorithm called DMP_EOLSR is proposed in the paper. It is based on the OLSR routing algorithm, and considers the living time of nodes and links according to the energy consumption and moving mode of nodes. At the same time, to find d...

This article probes how childhood experiences are actively taken into adult lives and thus challenges the unwitting and unintentional reproduction of an adult-child binary in childhood studies. We do this by analyzing interviews with one adult daughter of immigrants from Mexico to the United States at four points in time (ages 19, 26, 27, and 33).

In this paper, we explore the use of Linear Logic programming for story generation. We use the language Celf to represent narrative knowledge, and its own querying mechanism to generate story instances, through a number of proof terms. Each proof term obtained is used, through a resource-flow analysis, to build a directed graph where nodes are narrative actions and edges represent inferred caus...

Interactive narrative is a form of storytelling that adapts to actions performed by users who assume the roles of story characters. To date, interactive narratives are built by hand.

Our system leverages the experience and creativity o...
