K-grid: A Structure for Storage and Retrieval of Affective Knowledge.
Anestis A. Toptsis · 2009
We present the K-grid, a structure for storage and retrieval of affective knowledge. The K-grid is an ubiquitous-affective computing structure that can be used to capture and disseminate affectively laden knowledge, based on activities and past experiences. The knowledge is recorded in special substructures (K-nodes) which are initially linked sequentially, based on the chronological order of their creation, to form K-lines. Then, an interpolation process is used to fill in missing parts of the K-nodes. Subsequently, a clustering mechanism is used to amalgamate the formed K-lines into a final structure, the K-grid. A navigation mechanism is also proposed, for extraction of information from the K-grid, once the K-grid is formed.
