Proceedings of the 2015 Workshop on Narrative & Hypertext

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Workshop on Narrative and Hypertext -- NHT'15. This workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together individuals from the humanities and technological communities to share work and discuss state-of-the-art research on narrative from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. Narrative is a prevalent form of information common in our entertainment and communications, and key to our understanding of the world and its events. By building better models of narrative along with methods for generation, adaption, and presentation we enable narrative systems to become more effective but also improve our understanding of narrative structures. There is a growing community of researchers working on narrative systems, hypertext narratives, and machine readable narrative models, for which this workshop seeks to act as a hub to review advances and to discuss what the field might achieve in the coming year. The program committee reviewed and accepted the following: Reviewed 8 -- Accepted 8 Short Papers 100% The high acceptance rate reflects the high quality of work submitted to this workshop. We encourage attendees to attend the presentations of these papers at the workshop, as well as our program of discussions.
