This volume of Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing contains accepted papers presented at SOCO 2014, CISIS 2014 and ICEUTE 2014, all conferences held in the beautiful and historic city of Bilbao (Spain), in June 2014. Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate, and analyze very complex issues and phenomena.

 After a through peer-review process, the 9^th SOCO 2014 International Program Committee selected 31 papers which are published in these conference proceedings. In this relevant edition a special emphasis was put on the organization of special ... Read moresessions. One special session was organized related to relevant topics as: Soft Computing Methods in Manufacturing and Management Systems.

 The aim of the 7^th CISIS 2014 conference is to offer a meeting opportunity for academic and industry-related researchers belonging to the various, vast communities of Computational Intelligence, Information Security, and Data Mining. The need for intelligent, flexible behaviour by large, complex systems, especially in mission-critical domains, is intended to be the catalyst and the aggregation stimulus for the overall event.

After a through peer-review process, the CISIS 2014 International Program Committee selected 23 papers and the 5^th ICEUTE 2014 International Program Committee selected 2 papers which are published in these conference proceedings as well.
