Story Manager in 'Europe 2045' Uses Petri Nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Europe 2045 is an on-line multi-player strategy game aimed at education of high-school students in economics, politics, and media studies. The essential feature of the game is that players face various simulated scenarios and crises addressing contemporary key issues of the unified Europe. These scenarios are branching and can evolve in a parallel manner. In this paper, we present a technique for specifying plots of these scenarios, which underpins the story manager of Europe 2045. The technique is based on a modification of Petri Nets. We also detail one particular scenario concerning the current crisis in Darfur. On a general level this paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of implementation of Petri Nets in virtual storytelling.

Hierarchical Petri Nets for Story Plots Featuring Virtual Humans
Petri Nets can be used for a retrospective analysis of a computer game story, for representing plots in serious games as well as for monitoring the course of the story, as recently demonstrated by several authors. It was not clear, however, whether Petri Nets can be used for representing plots and for their unfolding in games that feature large worlds inhabited by virtual humans. This paper dem...
متن کاملSoccer Goalkeeper Task Modeling and Analysis by Petri Nets
In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...
متن کاملA Petri Net - based Model for Knowledge - based Workflows in Distributed Cancer Therapy
This paper describes a Petri Net-based model for workflow management in distributed cancer therapy, a domain which is characterized by the involvement of several geographically distributed departments and a long-term treatment. The approach uses hierarchical Petri-Nets; tokens, places and transitions are objects conform to the CORBA/IDL-model to facilitate implementation in a heterogeneous envi...
متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
متن کاملUsing Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
