``Simulation of emotional processes in decision making
''}\\
by Karim Mahboub\\
\end{center}

This paper deals with the delicate subject of introducing human emotions or, rather, human-emotion-like parameters in decision making. A particular model is chosen to simulate emotions using a sociological approach within a well-defined context in the world of cognitive psychology: the Gambling Task.\\
Of course, one has to quantify and categorize so, one of the most famous model is chosen. It is the OCC model, wrought out by three psychocogniticians: Ortony, Clore and Collins.\\
Following Bechara and Damasio, The Gambling Task, is a well-known test which aims at stimulating the emotional
processes of a player by giving him some money and proposing him to increase his capital through a card game.
This game consists of four decks of cards. On each card a number representing a certain amount of money, positive
or negative, is written. For each card taken, the player wins or looses money with respect to the amount indicated on
the card. The game stops when a hundred cards have been taken.\\
As four desks are under consideration, it seems natural to adopt a description consisting f a graph with four vertices and stochastic transition. This model, a stochastic evolutive automaton is relevantly proposed here.


\smallskip
My overall jugement is that the paper is well written, well documented and the ideas developed in a simple (but powerful) manner deserve to be expouned in this order and with this motivation somewhere.   


\bigskip
I warmly recommend acceptance.
