Abstract
This paper discusses computational models of the mechanism of emotion elicitation according to appraisal theories of emotion. Following a br ief review of earlier models, the general affordances of computational models are discussed. Scherer's (1993) recent ''expert system'' for p redicting emotions is then examined in some detail, followed by an exp loration of several alternative algorithms for computing an elicited e motion based on an appraisal specification.
