Emotion-Oriented Systems 

The Affective Computing domain, term coined by Rosalind Picard in
1997, gathers several scientific areas such as computer science,
cognitive science, psychology, design and art. The humane-machine
interaction systems are no longer solely fast and efficient. They
aim to offer to users affective experiences: user’s affective
state is detected and considered within the interaction; the system
displays 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 on natural data.
