Five travellers meet on a train: a teacher, a technologist, an
educational researcher and two children. As they travel across the
continent towards the Future of Learning conference, they exchange
their stories. This book explores the ways in which new technology
can support storytelling skills in learners. Written in the form of
discussions between teachers, learners and researchers, it is an
accessible introduction to issues in educational storytelling and
technology. "This is the perfect introduction to the possibilities
of narrative learning...I warmly recommend Inside Stories: A
Narrative Journey to creative educators of every variety." Dr
Donald Smith, Director of the Scottish Storytelling Centre.

The origin of the Intelligent Virtual Agents conference dates from
a successful workshop on Intelligent Virtual Environments held in
Brighton at the 13th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(ECAI'98). This workshop was followed by a second one held in
Salford in Manchester in 1999. Subsequent events took place in
Madrid, Spain in 2001 and Irsee, Germany in 2003 and attracted
participants from both sides of the Atlantic as well as Asia. th
This volume contains the proceedings of the 5 International Working
Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents, IVA 2005, held on Kos
Island, Greece, September 12-14, 2005, which highlighted once again
the importance and vigor of the research field. A half-day workshop
under the title "Socially Competent IVA's: We are not alone in this
(virtual) world!" also took place as part of this event. IVA 2005
received 69 submissions from Europe, North and South America,
Africa and Asia. The papers published here are the 26 full papers
and 14 short papers presented at the conference, as well as
one-page descriptions of the 15 posters and the descriptions of the
featured invited talks by Prof. Justine Cassell, of Northwestern
University and Prof. Kerstin Dautenhahn, of the University of
Hertfordshire. We would like to thank a number of people that have
contributed to the success of this conference. First of all, we
thank the authors for their high-quality work and their willingness
to share their ideas.

This volume, containing the proceedings of IVA 2003, held at
Kloster Irsee, in Germany, September 15-17, 2003, is testimony to
the growing importance of IntelligentVirtualAgents(IVAs)
asaresearch?eld.Wereceived67submissions, nearly twice as many as
for IVA 2001, not only from European countries, but from China,
Japan, and Korea, and both North and South America. As IVA research
develops, a growing number of application areas and pl- forms are
also being researched. Interface agents are used as part of larger
- plications, often on the Web. Education applications draw on
virtual actors and virtual drama, while the advent of 3D mobile
computing and the convergence of telephones and PDAs produce
geographically-aware guides and mobile - tertainment applications.
A theme that will be apparent in a number of the papers in this
volume is the impact of embodiment on IVA research - a char-
teristic di?erentiating it to some extent from the larger ?eld of
software agents.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Intelligent Virtual Agents, IVA 2001, held in Madrid, Spain in September 2001.The 16 revised full papers and five short papers presented together with two invited surveys were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are intelligent agents in education, virtual human societies, virtual agents, animation systems, autonomous avatars, the virtual self, agent societies, Internet agents, mobile agents, collaborative virtual environments, virtual storytelling, interactive improvisational plays, agent-oriented simulation, and 3D agents.
