Stefan Rank, OFAI, Wien 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. ********* Zeit: Dienstag, 3.
