                    MOTIVATING DRAMATIC INTERACTIONS

  Simulated dramatic story-worlds need to be populated with situated
  software agents that act in a dramatically believable way.

  With this premise in mind, I present work on an architecture that
  exploits social embedding and concepts from appraisal theories of
  emotion to model the interplay of motivational constructs and the
  subjective evaluative interpretation of changes in aN agent's
  environment.

  In this architecture, emotional processes drive an agent, mediating
  between its subjective concerns and preferences, its current state
  of activity, and the status and offerings of its environment.
