This volume presents the set of final accepted papers for the tenth edition of the IWANN conference International Work-Conference on Artificial neural Networks held in Salamanca (Spain) during June 10 12, 2009. IWANN is a biennial conference focusing on the foundations, theory, models and applications of systems inspired by nature (mainly, neural networks, evolutionary and soft-computing systems). Since the first edition in Granada (LNCS 540, 1991), the conference has evolved and matured.
