Designing an Affective Intelligent Agent on GenIA³

Abstract

GenIA³ is a General-purpose Intelligent Affective Agent Architecture, which can be committed with specific psychological theories to create the design of the final agent. Intelligent affective agents can be implemented by using the default design of GenIA³. Also GenIA³ helps experts on fields like psychology or behavioral computing, to provide more precise and refined ways of describing each particular affective process, facilitating the abstraction from irrelevant implementation or design details, and offering a default design for the main processes. Nevertheless an extensive set of domains need to be tested in order to properly validate and refine GenIA³. In this work we describe the default design of GenIA³, and we propose an alternative design which is based on a model of emotions previously proposed. This illustrates the flexibility of GenIA³ and may inspire other alternative designs.
