This paper presents a system which automatically generates interactive stories. These are focused on dilemmas in order to create dramatic tension. The system is provided with knowledge of generic story actions and dilemmas based on those clichés encountered in many of today’s soap operas. The story designer is only required to provide genre specific storyworld knowledge, such as information on ...

Generic sets have all properties (from among a suitably chosen class) that can be enforced by nite extension arguments. In particular, p-generic sets are known to be P-bi-immune. We try to clarify the precise relationship between genericity and bi-immunity by proposing an extended notion of bi-immunity that exactly characterizes the p-generic sets.

Alberta, quickly followed by other Canadian provinces, has introduced a new pricing model for generic drugs, in which prices are inversely related to the number of generic manufacturers of the drug. This paper examines the rationale for the new policy.

This is the second part of integrability analysis of cosmological models with scalar fields. Here, we study systems with conformal coupling, and show that apart from four cases, where explicit first integrals are known, the generic system is not integrable. We also comment on some chaotic properties of the system, and the issues of integrability restricted to the real domain.

In this paper, I will argue that two kinds of first-person-oriented content are distinguished in more ways than usually thought and I propose an account that will shed new light on the distinction. The first kind consists of contents of attitudes de se (in a broad sense); the second kind consists of contents that give rise to intuitions of relative truth. I will present new data concerning the ...

Let K be a local non-archimedian field, F = K((t)) and let G be a split semi-simple group. The purpose of this paper is to study certain analogs of spherical and Iwahori Hecke algebras for representations of the group G = G(F) and its central extension Ĝ . For instance our spherical Hecke algebra corresponds to the subgroup G(A) ⊂ G(F) where A ⊂ F is the subring OK((t)) where OK ⊂ K is the ring...
