Emotion pervades human life in general, and human communication in
particular, and this sets information technology a challenge.
Traditionally, IT has focused on allowing people to accomplish
practical tasks efficiently, setting emotion to one side. That was
acceptable when technology was a small part of life, but as
technology and life become increasingly interwoven we can no longer
ask people to suspend their emotional nature and habits when they
interact with technology. The European Commission funded a series
of related research projects on emotion and computing, culminating
in the HUMAINE project which brought together leading academic
researchers from the many related disciplines. This book grew out
of that project, and its chapters are arranged according to its
working areas: theories and models; signals to signs; data and
databases; emotion in interaction; emotion in cognition and action;
persuasion and communication; usability; and ethics and good
practice. The fundamental aim of the book is to offer researchers
an overview of the related areas, sufficient for them to do
credible work on affective or emotion-oriented computing. The book
serves as an academically sound introduction to the range of
disciplines involved - technical, empirical and conceptual - and
will be of value to researchers in the areas of artificial
intelligence, psychology, cognition and user-machine interaction.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
