Abstract

In this paper, we propose a script language for Personified Media (PM). PM is a kind of embodied conversational agent that can function as a personal conversational medium in asynchronous community systems. In our community system, participants have their personal PM to communicate with others. Each participant composes multimodal utterances towards his/her own PM in a script language and submits the utterances to the community system by turns. Because the script language of PM is not a language for agent system developers but for participants for online communities, the language should have a structure that users can compose utterances easily and naturally.
