AOC is a special session of AMSTA 2015 organized by the professors of Innopolis University, it will be held in Sorento, Italy on 17-19 June 2015.

Deputy-head of SE lab and associate professor at IU Manuel Mazzara together with visiting professor at IU Salvatore Distefano and visiting professor Max Talanov will become the chairs of AOC.

The proceedings will be in the KES Springer series ‘Smart Innovations, Systems and Technologies’ submitted for indexing in Scopus and CPCI, which is part of Web of Science.

It aims at attracting international researchers in the interdisciplinary field of Anthropic-Oriented Computing (AOC) Computing, which lays at the intersection among sociology, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, psychology and computer science. Current systems are indeed melting pots of interacting parts mixing economical, philosophical and socio-technical issues and interests, thus calling for adequate management approaches of the ecosystem as a whole.

Trans-/inter-disciplinary methodologies are therefore required for dealing with such issues. In this invited session we specifically focus on the anthropic aspects of this complex scenario projecting them into computer science. The main focus is on humans then, covering a broad spectrum from inward (emotions and affective computing) to outward (communities and crowds) aspects. On one hand, the focus is on AI through the neuro-physiological perspective. On the other hand, collective intelligence springing from human collaboration and interaction is at stake, taking into account the cultural divergences that flavor the bounded rational processes with local or situated cognitive perspectives.
