This advanced conference brings together international soft computing  
and computational
intelligence researchers, developers, practitioners, and users. The  
aim of CSTST
(previously called WSTST) is to serve as a forum to present current  
and future work
as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. This edition is  
dedicated to
commemorate the memory of Prof. Yasuhiko Dote, Founding Chair of WSTST series
of meetings. The CSTST addresses a large number of themes and issues  
including the
following regular session topics:
* Intelligent Hybrid Systems
* Fusion of Soft and Hard Computing
* Data and Web mining
* Decision Support Systems
* Natural Language Processing
* Intelligent agent-based systems, cognitive and reactive distributed  
AI systems
* Internet Modeling
* Multimedia Information Systems
* Information Retrieval
* Human-Computer Interface
* XML-based languages
* Security and Access Control
* Information Content Security
* Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Management
* Applications
         o E-Learning, eCommerce, eBusiness and eGovernment
         o Image and speech signal processing, prediction, and control
         o Robotics
         o Biology and medicine
         o Business and management
         o Artificial societies
         o Chemicals, pharmaceuticals and materials
         o Environment engineering


This year, the International Program Committee selected 62 papers out of 212
submissions. In addition, 47 papers were selected for oral presentation in the
following workshops:
* Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks (AASN)
