*** ICIDS 2010 ***
3rd International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling
01-03 November 2010, Edinburgh, UK
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/icids2010
Submission Deadline: June 14, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------
The advent of interactive graphical systems lays the basis for a new mode of
story-telling realized as
Interactive Digital Storytelling (IDS), applicable to interactive
entertainment, computer games,
education, therapy and other interactive digital applications. It raises
opportunities and addresses
challenges for redefining the experience of narrative through interactive
simulations of computer-
generated story worlds.
IDS thus offers interesting new possibilities for games, training, and
learning, through the enriching of
virtual characters with intelligent behavior, the collaboration of humans
and machines in the creative
process, and the combination of narrative knowledge and user activity in
interactive artifacts. In order
to create novel applications, in which users play a significant role
together with digital characters and
other autonomous elements, new concepts for Human-Computer Interaction have
to be developed.
Novel conceptions from theoretical work in the Humanities and interactive
art must also be
incorporated.
IDS draws on many aspects of Computer Science, and specifically on
Artificial Intelligence, with topics
such as narrative intelligence, automatic dialogue- and drama
management, cognitive robotics and smart graphics. In order to process
stories in real time, existing
modes of storytelling must be formalized into computable models, combining
ideas from narratology
with computer programming. This has so far resulted in a technological
complexity largely inaccessible
to potential creators of IDS and end-users. There is therefore a need for
new authoring concepts and
tools supporting the creation of dynamic story models, allowing for rich and
meaningful interaction
with the content. Finally, there is a need for theoretical foundations
considering the integration of so
far disjunctive approaches and cultures.
We welcome research papers, case studies and demonstrations including
interactive narrative art -
presenting new scientific results, innovative technologies, creative
insights, best practice showcases, or
improvements to existing techniques and approaches in the multidisciplinary
research field of
interactive digital storytelling and its related application areas, e.g.
games, virtual/online worlds, e-
learning, edutainment, and entertainment.
Suggested research topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:
* Interactive Storytelling Theory
* Virtual Characters and Agents
* Environments and Graphical Effects
* Interactive Cinematography
* Design of Sound Interactivity
* Story Generation and Drama Management
