Abstract

To design a companion technology we focus on the appraisal theory model to predict emotions and determine the appropriate system behaviour to support Human-Computer-Interaction. Until now, the implementation of emotion processing was hindered by the fact that the theories needed originate from diverging research areas, hence divergent research techniques and result representations are present. Since this difficulty arises repeatedly in interdisciplinary research, we investigated the use of mathematical modelling as an unifying language to translate the coherence of appraisal theory. We found that the mathematical category theory supports the modelling of human emotions according to the appraisal theory model and hence assists the implementation.
