Abstract

This paper addresses the emotion computing model for software affective agents. In this paper, emotion is represented in valence-arousal-dominance dimensions instead of discrete categorical representation approach. Firstly, a novel emotion model architecture for affective agents is proposed based on Scherer's componential theories of human emotion, which is one of the well-known emotion models in psychological area. Then a fuzzy logic is applied to determine emotional statuses in the emotion model architecture, i.e., the first valence and arousal, the second valence and arousal, and dominance. The proposed methods are implemented and tested by applying them in a virtual training system for children's neurobehavioral disorders.
