Humans require encouragement the advances of computing paradigms. Some examples of this are ubiquitous computing presenting higher mobility, cloud computing yielding better functionality, and social computing providing better interactivity. Each of these examples introduces an implicit or explicit requirement from humans and attempts to realize these requirements through specific methods. However, humans may investigate more with the applications. A chatting robot is one example, as this robot is used to maintain relationships with our social contacts when we do not have sufficient space or time to do so. To this end, it continuously interacts with our contacts by computing our thinking patterns, behaviors, and other important information. Of course, there are many interesting studies in this topic, which invites the discussion of a new computing paradigm, ?Anticipatory Computing.? This computing paradigm indicates a topic related to applications developed and able to anticipate specific user requirements. It is also utilized together with novel applications to perform an action in anticipation of a question of the user or to send a suggestion to the user. This is not only an example of artificial intelligence, it is one example of an innovation (i.e., prediction plus action). It can also be expressed as key to developing well-being within society, and a way to reach the ideal of ?serve before you ask.? This phenomenon will be considered as an opportunity to raise challenging problems within the topic of computer science.
