AIC workshops (Lieto and Cruciani 2013; Lieto, Radicioni and Cruciani, 2014) have produced, in the past years, a recognized level of discussion in Europe on the crossborder themes between AI and Cognitive Science and selected and expanded versions of their scientific papers have been published in dedicated special issues on international journals such as Connection Science and Cognitive Systems Research (edited by Lieto and Cruciani (2015), and Lieto and Radicioni (2016), respectively). AIC 2015 has been made possible thanks to the “Fondazione Ricerca e Talenti” (http:// www.ricercaetalenti.it) of the University of Turin that has fully sponsored the whole event. We would like to thank them for their financial and organizational support. Also we are grateful to the members of the Scientific Program Committee for their valuable work. Finally, thanks should be given to our wonderful student volunteers for their help in many practical issues. In this workshop proceedings appear 2 abstracts of the talks provided by the keynote speakers Aldo Gangemi and Amanda J. Sharkey and 13 peer reviewed papers accepted by the Program Committee Members through a process of peer-review. Specifically the 13 papers were selected out of 21 submissions coming from researchers of 16 different countries from all the continents. In the following, a short introduction to the content of the volume is presented. In the paper “Cognitive Programming”, by Loizos Michael, Antonis Kakas, Rob Miller and Gyorgy Turan, the authors point out some foundational issues regarding the design of cognitive systems and propose a novel methodological approach for human-computer interaction based on what they call “cognitive programming” paradigm. In the paper “Towards a Visual Remote Associates Test and its Computational Solver”, by Ana-Maria Olteteanu, Bibek Gautam and Zoe Falomir, the authors describe a computational solver for a visual version of the Remote Associate Test (RAT, a test used for measuring creativity in humans) and present the result of an evaluation done w.r.t. human responses.
