Pelachaud C. (ed.) Emotion-Oriented Systems

Wiley, 2011. — 331 p. — ISBN13: 9781848212589.The Affective Computing domain, coined by Rosalind Picard in 1997, gathers several scientific areas such as computer science, cognitive science, psychology, design, and art. The human-machine interaction systems are no longer solely fast and efficient. They aim to offer to users affective experiences: the user’s affective state is detected and considered within the interaction; the system displays the affective state; it can reason about their implication to achieve a task or resolve a problem. In this book, we have chosen to cover various domains of research in emotion-oriented systems. Our aim is also to highlight the importance to base the computational model on theoretical foundations and natural data.Contemporary Theories and Concepts in the Psychology of Emotions.
