Macro structure and basic methods in the integrated narrative generation system by introducing narratological knowledge

This paper proposes the comprehensive architecture of an integrated narrative generation system to discuss main two methods which are the foundations for integrating a variety of modules or elements and show a preliminary version utilizing our existing programs directly for seeing the picture of the integrated system. After we propose the macro structure of the proposed integrated system, we describe two fundamental methods to generate narrative structures and controlling the execution. And we show a pilot or preliminary version for the system developed by a kind of “bricolage” of existing programs corresponding to each module in the narrative generation process. Last, we discuss some issues for building the next version of the integrated narrative generation system. Moreover, this architecture is also differentiated from other many systems and approaches in the interdisciplinary concept of AI and narratology.
