....as pointed out by Hovy [Hov90] subsumes large parts of other work, including for example McKeown s schemas. RST has been used as basis for text generation, for example [Hov88, MS89, MP89] It has also been extended to cope with other media beyond natural language. For example by Andr e and Rist [AR90] who incorporate diagrams as satellites in explanatory text. Natural language generation techniques have been further extended to deal with text generation in hypertext systems. Work in this area includes the IDAS system [RML95] for producing technical documentation. In IDAS, text is derived ....

....presentation planner is responsible for contents and mode selection. A basic assumption behind the design of WIP is that not only the generation of text, but also the generation of multimodal documents can be considered as a sequence of communicative acts which aim to achieve certain goals (cf. Andr Rist 90a] As in textlinguistic studies (cf. Van Dijk 80] and [Mann Thompson 88] we distinguish between main (MA) and subsidiary acts (SA) Main acts convey the kernel of the message. Subsidiary acts serve to support the main acts. In particular, they ensure that necessary preconditions are satisfied, ....

(Bel P (Part of x z) Main Acts: Depict P A (Background z) pz picture) Subsidiary Acts: Achieve P (BMB P A (Identifiable A z pz picture) mode) For the automatic generation of illustrated documents, the presentation strategies are treated as operators of a planning system (cf. Andr Rist 90a] and [Andr Rist 90b] During the planning process, presentation strategies are selected and instantiated according to the presentation task. After the selection of a strategy, the main and subsidiary acts are carried out unless the corresponding presentation goals are already satisfied. ....

....interpretation of visually observed motion patterns in a restricted domain. Later on, the work on incremental scene interpretation (Herzog et al. 1989; Herzog Wazinski 1994; Herzog Rohr 1995) was combined with an approach for plan based multimedia presentation design (Andr e et al. 1993; Andr e Rist 1990) in order to move towards the generation of various multimedia reports, such as TV style reports and illustrated newspaper articles (Andr e, Herzog, Rist 1994) Part of this extension was a generic architecture for multimedia reporting systems which describes the representation formats and the ....

....a common representation and that the design of a text picture sequence can be modeled as a non monotonic planning process. Since we consider the generation of multimedia presentation as a goal directed activity, it seemed most appropriate to implement a goal driven, top down planning approach (cf. [9, 10, 5]) As input, WIP receives a presentation goal (e.g. the user should know how to prepare a modem for data reception. This goal is forwarded to a presentation planning component which tries to find a presentation strategy which matches this goal (according to a given domain representation) and ....

Communication acts are an extension of speech acts [27] to multimedia communications (see also [4, 21]) This task is accomplished by means of coordinated goal refinement, content selection, and media selection.

....the medium used in presentation. The work described in this paper aims at a multimedia reporting system. Following the paradigm of rapid prototyping, we rely on our previous work in both analysis and interpretation of image sequences (cf. 1, 13] and generation of multimedia presentations (cf. [12, 14]) Short sections of video recordings of soccer games have been chosen as the domain of discourse since they offer interesting possibilitiesfor the automatic interpretation of visual data in a restricted domain. Also, the broad variety of commonly used presentation forms in sports reporting ....

....of the players is represented in the interaction library. A successful plan triggers the activation of a corresponding interaction schema. 3. 3 Presentation Planning Following a speech act theoretic perspective, the generation of multimedia documents is considered as a goal directed activity (cf. [14]) Starting from a communicative goal (e.g. describe the scene) a presentation planner builds up a refinement style plan in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) This plan reflects the propositional contents of the potential document parts, the intentional goals behind the parts as well as ....

Andr e Rist 90] We presume that there is at least one act that is central to the goal of the whole document. This act is referred to as the main act (MA) Acts supporting the main act are called subsidiary acts (SA) 1 Since main and subsidiary acts can, in turn, be composed of main and subsidiary acts, a ....
