CAAF: A Cognitive Affective Agent Programming Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cognitive agent programming frameworks facilitate the development of intelligent virtual agents. By adding a computational model of emotion to such a framework, one can program agents capable of using and reasoning over emotions. Computational models of emotion are generally based on cognitive appraisal theory; however, these theories introduce a large set of appraisal processes, which are not specified in enough detail for unambiguous implementation in cognitive agent programming frameworks. We present CAAF (Cognitive Affective Agent programming Framework), a framework based on the belief-desire theory of emotions (BDTE), that enables the computation of emotions for cognitive agents (i.e., making them cognitive affective agents). In this paper we bridge the remaining gap between BDTE and cognitive agent programming frameworks. We conclude that CAAF models consistent, domain independent emotions for cognitive agent programming.

Computational Analytical Framework for Affective Modeling: Towards Guidelines for Designing Computational Models of Emotions
Computational affective models are being developed both to elucidate affective mechanisms, and to enhance believability of synthetic agents and robots. Yet in spite of the rapid growth of computational affective modeling, no systematic guidelines exist for model design and analysis. Lack of systematic guidelines contributes to ad hoc design practices, hinders model sharing and re-use, and makes...
متن کاملDeveloping EBDI agents
BDI (Belief Desire Intention) cognitive framework has become a popular tool to design intelligent agents. Particularly, EBDI (Emotional BDI) agents have emerged strongly in the last years. Its affective modeling usually includes emotions, mood, personality and also some affective capacities. Despite this, there are affective aspects that are not considered when modeling affection and a proposal...

A new generation of Intelligent E-Learning systems (ILS) has been designed and implemented by means of the construction of an agent factory, NEOCAMPUS2, able to produce “ad hoc” multi-agent structures for developing ILS. The paper describes some fuzzy assessment techniques suitable to be used with affective and cognitive computing and gives some results obtained with DYNAMICS2, a NEOCAMPUS2 spi...

Empirical research provides evidence of strong interaction between cognitive and affective processes in the human mind. Education research proposes a model of constructive learning that relates cognitive and affective processes in an evolving cycle of affective states. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are capable of providing comprehensive cognitive support. Affective support in ITSs, howeve...
