NHT 2013 - International Workshop on Narrative and Hypertext (NHT'13)

Narrative is a prevalent form of information common in our entertainment, communication, and understanding of the world and its events. By building better models of narrative along with methods for generation, adaption, and presentation we enable narrative systems to become more effective but also improve our understanding of narrative structures.
There is a growing community of researchers working on narrative systems, hypertext narratives, and machine readable narrative models for which this workshop seeks to act as a hub to review advances and events over the previous year as well as, looking forward to what the field can achieve in the coming year.
The co-location of Hypertext with ACM Web Science and ACM CHI offers opportunities to extend this community. Some of the crucial conclusions of the previous years have been focussed on the interdisciplinary difficulty of connecting creatives with technologists, as well as the technical and design challenges in creating methods of interaction with narrative from the perspective of both authors and audience.
These two challenges: narrative in interdisciplinary research, and narrative and interaction, will form the core focus of this year's workshop.
This workshop aims to support this work, including the linking documents (adaptive hypertext and narrative connections) track in the hypertext conference itself, by providing an open interdisciplinary forum of discussion on key issues facing the field.
