Conversation modeling as an abstract user interface component

This paper discusses a system that models a conversation from an abstract, non content oriented viewpoint. This model is brought together with abstract story/mediarelated conversation elements, as well as actor/user-input dependant conversation elements, of a set of conversation participants. The conversation module is integrated as an abstract user interface layer into a storytelling system to allow content and story generation with a specification of its general presentation on a very high level of abstraction.
