Creativity by Design: A Character Based Approach to Creating Creative Play (pdf)
Joanna Bryson, in the AISB Symposium on AI and Creativity in Entertainment in April 1999.
Summary: another proto-BOD paper, talks about combining Edmund with another agent architecture, Ymir, in the context of virtual reality characters. More about SoL, Ymir and the project is in the “Dragons, Bats & Evil Knights” paper above; some of the technical details of implementing Edmund’s POSH architecture in SoL are in “Architectures and Idioms” paper also above.
