Analytical Affective Design with Ambient Intelligence for Product Ecosystems

Analytical Modeling and Evaluation of Affective Product Ecosystems

The consideration of human-product-environment interactions is consistent with the wisdom of ‘product ecosystems’, which essentially entail a scenario of affective design of the entire system with customer experience in the loop. The ‘emotional’ aspects play an important role in forming customer perception, and thus to influence the performance of product ecosystem design. This paper developed ...

Stone-Type Physiological Sensing Device for Daily Monitoring in an Ambient Intelligence Environment

Recently there has been increasing research into mobile physiological sensing devices to explore the benefits in the areas of monitoring health and well-being. However, previous works have mainly focused on functionality, and less so on affective shape, comfort use, and stable sensing. In this work, we propose a stone-type physiological sensing device for general users, rather than professional...

AfCAI systems: Affective Computing with Context Awareness for Ambient Intelligence. Research proposal

Summary of the Workshop Affective Interaction with Avatars @ Ambient Intelligence 2015

The workshop Affective Interaction with Avatars was held at the 2015 Ambient Intelligence conference, in Athens, Greece, during November 11. The workshop focused on the affective interaction with Avatars, also known as Embodied Conversational Agents. This technology is increasingly used in the area of Ambient Assisted Living to provide natural interfaces for elderlies. Several aspects of affect...

Toward interactive context-aware affective educational recommendations in computer-assisted language learning

This work explores the benefits of supporting learners affectively in a context-aware learning situation. This features a new challenge in related literature in terms of providing affective educational recommendations that take advantage of ambient intelligence and are delivered through actuators available in the environment, thus going beyond previous approaches which provided computer-based r...
