Abstract
Emotional agents are an active research domain, with direct application in several industrial fields such as video games, interactive environments, or enhanced human computer interactions. Emotional behaviour should consider both the representation of the emotions and the mood states. The two most widely accepted and used models for this purpose, the OCC and the PAD models, are rooted in cognitive psychology. Upon this background, this paper puts forward two main contributions: firstly, it discusses the use of a common representation for both mood states and emotions; secondly, it introduces the concept of the Mood Vector Space and analyses its the properties.
