Abstract:
In this study, we present a generic model to exchange emotional states information between heterogeneous multi-modal applications. Our proposal is composed of three distinct layers: the psychological layer, the formal computational layer and the language layer. The first layer represents the psychological theory adopted in our approach, The second layer is based on a formal multidimensional model. It matches with the psychological approach of the previous layer. The final layer uses XML to generate the final emotional data to be transferred through the network. The remainder of this article describes each layer of our model. The proposed model enables the exchange of the emotional states regardless to the modalities and sensors used in the detection step. Moreover our model permits to model not only the basic emotions (e.g., anger, sadness, fear) but also different types of complex emotions like simulated and masked emotions.
