Abstract. Psychology and cognitive neuroscience researches are increasingly showing how emotion plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. Gradually, this knowledge is being used in Artificial Intelligent and Artificial Life areas in simulation and cognitive processes modeling. However, theoretical aspects of emotion to be employed in computational systems projects are scarcely discussed and very few comparisons are made between projects. Besides, we can notice that there are many open questions emotion-based projects might face to field development. This paper intends to discuss these problems and propose tentative directions to solve them.

Recent research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience are increasingly showing how emotion plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. Gradually, this knowledge is being used in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life areas in simulation and cognitive processes modeling. However, it lacks a theoretical framework that allows them to deal with emotion. In addiction, regarding emotion-based computational projects, controversial questions concerning the nature, function, and mechanisms of emotions, that must be considered, are mostly neglected on researches. The objective of this article is to discuss some of these problems and to present references that can be useful in their solution.

Los resultados alcanzados con el desarrollo de esta arquitectura dejan traslucir su capacidad para modelar agentes sociales cognitivos capaces de interactuar de forma personalizada entre ellos para la satisfacción de metas. Los nuevos componentes y mecanismos de la arquitectura han permitido conjugar y enriquecer los comportamientos reactivo-deliberativos de la arquitectura base con comportamientos sociales elaborados.
