This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Multiple Classifier Systems, MCS 2010, held in Cairo, Egypt, in April 2010. The 31 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The contributions are organized into sessions dealing with classifier combination and classifier selection, diversity, bagging and boosting, combination of multiple kernels, and applications.
