    This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15482 "Social Concepts in Self-organising Systems". The seminar brought together researchers from computer sciences (in particular from the fields of multi-agent systems and self-organisation) and from social sciences to discuss the impact of the use of social concepts in technical systems as well as the interaction between technical and social systems. In an engaging and interactive setting, the problem was illuminated from a technical as well as a philosophical and legal point of view. The talks, discussions, and working groups identified a growing body of work in the field, a number of interesting and promising research avenues, as well as a set of open issues for future investigation
