Literary or real-life narratives are classifiable according to genres. In this paper, genre is used as a modelling concept, being characterized operationally, in terms of which facts and actions are allowed and the goals and interactions of the agents involved in a narrative pertaining to the genre. Intuitively, characterizing a genre means developing an executable specification capable of recognizing and/or generating plots of acceptable narratives. The specification is, in turn, extracted from an analysis of behavioural patterns. The machinery of multistage interactive plot generation is described and illustrated by way of running examples. A prototype, developed in Prolog extended with Constraint Programming, is being used to perform experiments both in literary and business contexts.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-47866-3_31
