> In recent years, the field of Digital Interactive Storytelling (DIS)  

> has enjoyed a keen interest in both academic circles and the game  

> industry. DIS allows creating a bespoke story according to user  

> interactions. As a mixture of storytelling, game technologies, and  

> user interactions, DIS provides users the ability to interact with  

> the storyteller and the story characters in real-time, so that  

> dynamic and customized storylines can be generated.

>

> DIS, including novel forms of gameplay, medical application, and  

> serious games, guarantees to become an important research area. DIS  

> provides access to shared themes through stories, and promises to  

> advance significantly the potential for interactive entertainment,  

> computer games, and other digital interactive applications. DIS  

> research identifies challenges and solutions for redefining our  

> understanding of narrative structure and theory through interactive  

> simulations in computer-generated story worlds.

>

> DIS could also be enhanced with the convergence of sociology,  

> pedagogy, and edutainment. Recently, computer games have been  

> deployed for educational purposes and proven to be an effective  

> approach for learning and teaching. Many conceptual similarities  

> exist between storytelling and educational gaming. The development  

> of DIS will thus make a huge contribution that will expand the  

> horizons in the fields of games, interactive entertainment, and  

> edutainment.

>

> In this special issue, we invite submission of papers from current  

> research in the multidisciplinary research field of DIS and its  

> related technology and application areas, for example, games,  

> virtual/online worlds, e-learning, edutainment, and entertainment,
