Foreword Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Technologies are very important tools in building intelligent systems with various degree of autonomous behavior. These groups of tools support such features as ability to learn and adaptability of the intelligent systems in various types of environments and situations. The current and future Information Society is expecting to be implemented with the framework of the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) approach into technologies and everyday life. These accomplishments provide the wide range of application potentials for Machine Intelligence tools to support the AmI concept implementation. The number of studies indicates that this approach is inevitable and will play essential and central role in the development of Information Society in close future. The essential importance of the Machine Intelligence in this historically challenging effort points out the responsibility of MI community including all fields like Brian-like research and applications, fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation, multi-agent systems, artificial life, Expert Systems, Symbolic approaches based on logic reasoning, Knowledge discovery, mining, replication and many other related fields supporting the development and creation of the Intelligent System. The importance embedding these systems in various kinds of technologies should bring profit and different role of mankind in production and in everyday life. We expect to have intelligent technologies, solution and even humanoid robots to help the mankind to improve and keep the ideas of humanity and democracy. The role of Machine Intelligence Quotient will play an important role in the future to be able to evaluate the degree of the autonomous behavior of the designed system. It is belief that it will be domain oriented problem and should also be important to use this information for decisions made by humans e.g. in evaluation of many information system in commercial tender to pick up the system with the highest MIQ. The usefulness of this parameter will be dependent on many influences including technological, domain oriented and also commercial aspects of the CI application in various systems. The commercial need to have “intelligent” solution and products should increase the interest for MI tools. This year number of contribution showed up from mechanical Engineering domain, control and also pure computer science. We do believe that this multidisciplinarity will be very useful to emerge more AI applications in Information Society and will help making products and solutions more “intelligent”. This proceedings is a small contribution of knowledge dissemination and presentation of important problems and advances in Computational intelligence theory and applications. Hungary and Slovakia as members of EU will do their best to contribute to European Research Area and support the development of Computational Intelligence technology for the benefit of the mankind.
