This paper describes a co-creative text generation system applied within a science fiction setting to be used by an established novelist. The project was initiated as part of The Dutch Book Week, and the generated text will be published within a volume of science fiction stories. We explore the ramifications of applying Natural Language Generation within a cocreative process, and examine where ...

Narratives have been used in the past to enhance technical documents such as research proposals by implementing a single-user writing tool called CANS (Computer-Aided Narrative Support). This study has now been extended to collaborative writing (CW); another area that can greatly benefit from a narrativebased writing tool. Before implementing such an asynchronous, multi-user system, however, it...

Scientific writing is an essential part of a student’s and researcher’s everyday life. In this paper we investigate the particularities of scientific writing and explore the features and limitations of existing tools for scientific writing. Deriving from this analysis and an online survey of the scientific writing processes of students and researchers at the University of Paderborn, we identify...

This paper investigates using higher levels of scripted process structure (procedural explicitness) to improve outcomes of distributed, asynchronous collaborative writing (CW) teams that work on the Internet. This paper reports preliminary results of a one-and-a-half month field experiment on asynchronous collaborative writing using 550 participants. It is found that the highest levels of proce...

ABSTRACT: The writing process has been described in several ways, where the central parts are planning, text generation and revision (Hayes, 1996) in some way (Carey and Flower, 1989). Solving problems can be viewed as representing the problem space and finding a path in that space (Hayes and Nash, 1996). That representation can be done with object orientation (OO). OO is a paradigm in software...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Barriers to publication can be overcome through a peer support writing group in an academic department of family practice. This study describes the experience and outcomes of a writing group in a family practice department. METHODS A writing group was established to provide collaboration in identifying potential research and/or writing projects, to assist individual ...

Writing can be defined in a variety of ways. In this examination of learning to write, we view writing as a complex cognitive process and examine instruction that is designed to enable writers to communicate their ideas effectively and perform well in academic settings, on standardized assessments such as the Nation’s Report Card (Salahu-Din, Persky, & Miller, 2008), and in the modern workplace...
