Cyberemotions

This is the first monograph of its kind introduces the reader to fundamental definitions, key concepts and case studies addressing the following *What are emotions? How do they emerge, and how are *How can we *What are *When do emotions and *How can we model emotions and their changes?  *What role do emotions play in online Edited and authored by leading scientists in the field, this book serves as an introduction and reference resource for researchers working on applications of complex systems methods in the social sciences, as well for social scientists, psychologists, online-community experts and computer scientists. 

This book provides an excellent overview of the current state-of-art in research on collective emotional interactions mediated by the Internet.  This fascinating interdisciplinary research field is shown from perspectives of social scientists, physicists, as well as specialists in data mining and information technology.  The book introduces a reader in social phenomena occurring  in cyberspace, algorithms needed for automatic  sentiment detection  and  data driven modeling of emotional patterns observed in on-line groups.

We are what we communicate: communicare ergo sum! With the explosive hyper exponential growth of the internet suddenly new ways of communication are emerging that give rise to a digital 'Homo empathicus', each of us suddenly being able to share thoughts and feelings with millions if not billions of others. This book is a true treat, a timely milestone that gives us insight in the co-evolution of the way we interact with each other and the communication technology provided through this new seemingly endless flexible digital world. Prof. Holyst did a great job bringing together real experts in the field of cyber emotions, they give us a reflection of where we come from and, as important, they open up new vistas of where we are going.

The book Cyberemotions embraces the topic of emotion studies in cyberspace from a very rich spectrum of points of view and applications. It is particularly interesting reading the theoretical foundations underlying the concepts of Cyberemotions and how these concepts can be captured, modeled and implemented in real-time applications. Exploring collective emotions in online settings is extremely challenging and opens new directions of research.

Logical machines give us a chance to analyze our often illogical behaviors, especially in the vast meadows of the cyberspace. In this important book, authors of different backgrounds present a wide and deep image, not only of methods of analyzing our emotional behavior online but also how the computers can help to break communicational walls the same technology had built.
