Publisher's Synopsis
Human emotions are an integral part of decision making in businesses and organisations. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in how products create an emotional response, how humans communicate emotions by facial expression and how computers may do so with animated images, and the ways in which intelligent systems may be enhanced with emotional competencies in order to assist decision-making and decision support.
Context-aware Emotion-based Multi-agent Systems is the first book to systematically cover the modelling of emotions and emotional states in human decision making and describe how human problem-solving may be integrated with intelligent technologies and intelligent agents. The end result is an intelligent multi-agent architecture whose application is described in real-world applications of the Internet in business.
The authors' expertise covers research and real business and industry experience in computer science, management, HCI and computer vision and e-business, enabling Context-aware Emotion-based Multi-agent Systems to provide a well-balanced survey of an important multi-disciplinary topic.
