User Stories sind ein probates Mittel zum Austausch von Anforderungen in der agilen Softwareentwicklung. Die Anwendung ist jedoch kritisch, da sich immer wieder Fehler in der Beschreibung einzelner Formularfelder wie den Akzeptanzkriterien einschleichen. Mit diesen fehlerhaften User Stories müssen Personen mit individuellen Erfahrungen ein gemeinsames mentales Modell konstruieren. Häufig ist de...

User stories in software engineering serve the purpose of discovering requirements and are used as units of system development. When applying stories in a project, two elements seem to be crucial: the ability to write coherent sequences of events and the ability to transform these sequences into code quickly and resourcefully. In this paper, these qualities are reflected in a notation that can ...

This paper briefly describes our proposal for storytelling in virtual environments from a virtual guide perspective. In our model the guide begins at a particular location and starts to navigate the world telling the user stories related to the places she visits. Our guide tries to emulate a real guide’s behaviour in such a situation. In particular, she behaves as a spontaneous real guide who k...

We define analytic torsion τ (X,E ,H) ∈ detH(X, E ,H) for the twisted de Rham complex, consisting of differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold X valued in a flat vector bundle E , with a differential given by ∇ +H ∧ · , where ∇ is a flat connection on E , H is an odd-degree closed differential form on X, and H(X, E ,H) denotes the cohomology of this Z2-graded complex. We show that whe...

I am very proud and excited for the future of the Asian Oncology Nursing Society (AONS). The vision over eight years ago of developing an Asian organization has clearly become a reality. I am very grateful to have received a plaque of appreciation from AONS President, Myungsun Yi along with my colleagues Kazuko Onishi from Japan and Pongpak Pittayapan from Thailand. However, I would be remiss i...

Drama management is a technique by which a virtual world and computer-controlled characters within the virtual world are manipulated in order to bring about a dramatic experience for the human participant. Generative drama management systems use artificial intelligence to dynamically generate new story content in order to adapt to the participant. Story generation poses many challenges, one of ...

A method for automatic plot analysis of narrative texts that uses components of both traditional symbolic analysis of natural language and statistical machine-learning is presented for the story rewriting task. In the story rewriting task, an exemplar story is read to the pupils and the pupils rewrite the story in their own words. This allows them to practice language skills such as spelling, d...
