The experiment was conducted using the Structured Stories prototype platform, which provides a library of abstractions of journalistic events grounded in frame semantics. Realwor...

During realistic, continuous perception, humans automatically segment experiences into discrete events. Using a novel model of cortical event dynamics, we investigate how cortical structures generate event representations during narrative perception and how these events are stored to and retrieved from memory. Our data-driven approach allows us to detect event boundaries as shifts between stabl...

Developing believable and realistic characters for interactive, computer-based forms of entertainment is a hard work. To make them perform specific tasks or take initiatives given a narrative is even more challenging. In this paper we introduce a novel agent design approach that reconciles autonomy with instructability and narrative in one agent architecture. The approach is based on a highly d...

Over the last few years researchers have recognized the need for adaptive access control mechanisms for dynamic collaborative environments. As a result, several mechanisms have been proposed and demonstrated in academic literature. Although these mechanisms have been verified to perform as advertised, few of them have been validated to work within an operational environment. Using a decentraliz...

Using the example of a failed software implementation, we discuss the role of artifacts in shaping organizational routines. We argue that artifact-centered assumptions about design are not well suited to designing organizational routines, which are generative systems that produce recognizable, repetitive patterns of interdependent actions, carried out by multiple actors. Artifact-centered assum...
