This paper investigates the factors that made international co-authorship between scientists in Iran and elsewhere possible. A questionnaire was sent out to Iranian scientists in fields of physics, chemistry, and biology who had co-authored an internationally published journal article during 2003. The main foreign co-author in each of the articles was identified and questions regarding this co-...

Based on a contrastive approach that compares the argumentative genre of editorial with the narrative genre of personal narrative across two production modes, single-authored data and data elicited in an editing-based task, this paper examines the impact of genre on the realizations of discourse relations, paying particular attention to the argumentative genre and its preferential realizations ...

The automated generation of links within a body of educational material is critical to the cost-effective implementation of Technology Based Learning. This paper describes the linking system used by WHURLE an adaptive web-based integrated learning environment. Structural links are dynamically generated from lessons using an autonavigation system. Authored links are created by teachers or studen...

Reasoning about how much to generate when space is limited is a challenge for generation systems. This paper presents two algorithms that exploit the discourse structure to decide which content to drop when there are space restrictions, in the context of producing documents from pre-authored text fragments. We analyse the effectiveness of both algorithms and show that the second is near optimal.

This paper proposes a method for extracting high-level rules for expository dialogue generation. The rules are extracted from dialogues that have been authored by expert dialogue writers. We examine the rules that can be extracted by this method, focusing on whether different dialogues and authors exhibit different dialogue styles.

Mobile phones with digital cameras have become a common new tool for producing user created video content. In this paper we present a study of 84 participants (teenage girls) who created and authored minimovies using the N73 mobile phone. The participants produced 28 minimovies in a 30-minute period which were then analysed for their structure, style and feature usage.
