Track 4: Interaction, Narrative, and Storytelling

Objectives

For this track we solicit papers describing approaches in digital storytelling - fiction and non-fiction - that address the challenges posed by the changes in information distribution and interaction between people, social networks, locations, and institutions. We are in particular interested in approaches that make use of data stores rich in narrative material, such as YouTube, Flickr, other semantic rich environments on the web, and digital libraries. We look for work that provides new insights in presentation challenges posed by technologies such as mobile phones or media tablets.
