DESCRIPTION:Capturing common sense knowledge often
  involves uncovering the implicit, unstated assump
 tions behind communication, often best expressed t
 hrough stories. Work in story representations date
 s back to Schank-style scripts and other efforts i
 n the 80s, but recent developments have unleashed 
 new potential in this area. The maturity of common
  sense knowledge bases such as Cyc, Open Mind and 
 ThoughtTreasure; statistical and corpora-based nat
 ural language understanding techniques; the explos
 ion of participatory knowledge collection over the
  Web; progress in cognitive science; the popularit
 y of Web-based storytelling media such as blogs; a
 nd new common sense reasoning techniques are all e
 nablers of the new generation of work on common se
 nse stories.    We are accepting both papers and d
 emos to our workshop. Submission deadline is Novem
 ber 20th. For more information, see http://csc.med
