This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty, ECSQARU 2009, held in Verona, Italy, July 1-3, 2009.

There are 76 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures by three outstanding researchers in the area. All papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions for inclusion in the book.

The papers are organized in topical sections on algorithms for uncertain inference, argumentation systems, Bayesian networks, Belief functions, Belief revision and inconsistency handling, classification and clustering, conditioning, independence, inference, default reasoning, foundations of reasoning, decision making under uncertainty, Fuzzy sets and Fuzzy logic, implementation and application of uncertain systems, logics for reasoning under uncertainty, Markov decision process, and Mathematical Fuzzy Logic.
