Reports on the 2011 AAAI Fourth Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference Workshops

Two one-day workshops were held on October 11: Intelligent Narrative Technologies, and Artificial Intelligence in the Game Design Process. The highlights of each workshop are presented in this report. Narrative is a pervasive aspect of human culture, one of the fundamental frameworks by which people view the world and comprehend their experiences. As computers and the Internet play an ever-increasing role in social interaction, education, and entertainment, they introduce novel opportunities for sharing, creating, and understanding stories. The last several years have seen growing interest and progress in computational approaches to narrative intelligence.
