Abstract

The ever strengthening symbiosis between software and society calls for increasing attention on the emotions of the users in the engineering of software. In the context of agile software development, this paper proposes a preliminary framework for a user-centered and conceptual model-based process for engineering affective user stories, and illustrates a part of it by an example.
