Project Name: Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion
Abbreviation: HUMAINE Start date:
January 1, 2004 End date:
December 31, 2007 Project Description:
HUMAINE (Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion) is a
Network of Excellence in the EU's Sixth
Framework Programme, in the IST (Information Society
Technologies) Thematic Priority IST-2002-
2.3.1.6
Multimodal Interfaces.
HUMAINE aims to lay the foundations for European development of
systems that can register, model and/or influence human emotional and
emotion-related states and processes - 'emotion-oriented systems'.
Such
systems may be central to future interfaces, but their conceptual
underpinnings are not sufficiently advanced to be sure of their real
potential or the best way to develop them. One of the reasons is that
relevant knowledge is dispersed across many disciplines. HUMAINE
brings
together leading experts from the key disciplines in a programme
designed to achieve intellectual integration. It identifies six
thematic areas that cut across traditional groupings and offer a
framework for an appropriate division of labour - theory of emotion;
signal/sign interfaces; the structure of emotionally coloured
interactions; emotion in cognition and action; emotion in
communication
and persuasion; and usability of emotion-oriented systems. Teams
linked
to each area will run a workshop in it and carry out joint research to
define an exemplar embodying guiding principles for future work in
their area. Cutting across these are plenary sessions where teams from
all areas report; activities to create necessary infrastructure
(databases recognising cultural and gender diversity, an ethical
framework, an electronic portal); and output to the wider community in
the form of a handbook and recommendations of good practice (as
precursors to formal standards)
The HUMAINE Network (Contract no. 507422) started on 1st
January 2004, and is set out to run for four years.
27 partners from 11 countries participate in the
network.
