Abstract:

This work illustrates the design of a context-aware software architecture supporting the narration of interactive stories for mobile users. The peculiarity of this work is the use of an extended set of context dimensions, including the surrounding environment and the user social network, for enhancing the engagement and the emotional impact on the users experiencing the story.
