Abstract

Novels, movies and other genres of stories are popular. This paper studies the methods of computer-aided story creation by means of domain-specific conceptual modeling and model-driven architecture. Firstly, a new conceptual modeling language for story is presented, and its abstract syntax and concrete syntax are defined. The conceptual story model is a kind of graphical, highly abstract, and genre-independent model that describes the events, characters, settings, and the relationships in a given world. We developed a software tool to support the conceptual modeling. Secondly, a model-driven architecture for story creation is proposed, which consists of a series of related models, languages, and tools to support the modeling and transformation. In the architecture, a story work is represented by story models, and the story creation becomes a modeling process from abstract to concrete. We take the genre of story as the platform, so the conceptual model is a platform-independent model, which can be transformed to various platform-specific models. We believe the architecture is a new way for story creation and can make sense for the creative industry.
