Abstract

This paper proposes a language based on temporal logics to specify constraints on nondeterministic stories, generated by interactive storytelling systems, taking into account that time is continuous and branched. These constraints are checked, in real time, during story generation. Constraints to be checked are described by temporal formulas over the properties of the story. To make possible the verification in real time, it is assumed that these properties are piecewise-linear functions. A prototype, using Constraint Logic Programming for the verification of properties, is operational.
