....processing. Other models have difficulties making such claims. An exception is Moffat and Frijda s WILL architecture (Moffat Frijda, 1995) partly similar to MINDER1, and a design for a concern realisation system (see section 6.3.1) However, WILL does not exhibit protoemotional states. Also, Botelho Coelho (1996) describe an agent architecture that can interrupt its attention in response to new environmental contingencies. However, it does not support reactive, deliberative and meta deliberative forms of control. MINDER1 demonstrates that phenomena based approaches to the study of the emotions are ....

....is used to improve the music arrangement capabilities of an intelligent system. Emotion has also been used as a way to improve interface agents and, more recently, avatars [Vilhjlmsson and Cassell 1998] Some other researchers such as Dolores Caamero [Caamero 1997] Lus Botelho and Helder Coelho [Botelho and Coelho 1996a, 1998a, 1998b] and Aaron Sloman and the Cognition and Affect Project [Sloman 1987] Beaudoin and Sloman 1993] have presented some work showing that emotion should be considered at the level of the agent architecture. Emotions play important roles at the control level of agent architectures: ....
....with the motives of the agent. These signals are called emotion signals. In the Salt Pepper Project we have been dealing with several classes of emotion signals, such as attention shift warnings, performance evaluation signals, malfunctioning component warnings, motivation intensifiers [Botelho and Coelho 1996a, 1998a, 1998b] and communication modulation signals. Attention shift warnings signal the agent that its attention should shift from its current cognitive task to something else. For instance, the agent should suspend its current cognitive task and pay attention to the external environment. ....

....in order to define an architecture for autonomous artificial agents designed according to the principles outlined in section 2.1. 2.2. 1 A word about SALT and affect SALT is a model of memory for artificial agents originally described in [Botelho and Coelho 1995] and further developed in [Botelho and Coelho 1996a; 1996b; 1996c; 1996d] SALT describes Long Term Memory as an associative network whose nodes contain declarative and procedural symbolic structures. Nodes are further characterized by an activation value which represents its accessibility in Long Term Memory. The greater the activation of a node the ....
....architecture, consider a situation in which an agent is faced with a decision problem (DP) and uses a long term memory node (N) to produce the decision outcome D. Suppose also that after having made the decision, the agent experiences a negative affective state attributed to D. Then, according to [Botelho and Coelho 1996c] the agent s information processing mechanism (i) creates a new node (Avoid) containing a strong need for a desired outcome when facing decision problem DP, a goal of avoiding negative affect, and a belief that if decision D is produced then the goal of avoiding negative affect is not achieved; ....
