This AIP Conference proceedings contains all papers which received a Best Paper Award as well as a selection of invited papers. The scope of this volume encompasses the study, research and development of concepts, methodologies, theories and mathematical models for designing, modeling, simulating, optimizing, controlling of computing anticipatory systems. Computing systems refer to any rule-based and learning-based evolving natural and artificial systems. Computation deals with manipulation of symbols in a large sense. A computing anticipatory system is a system which computes its current states in taking into account its anticipatory states. Strong anticipation refers to an anticipation of events built by or embedded in a system. Weak anticipation refers to an anticipation of events predicted or forecasted from a model of a system. The topics of the chapters are computing anticipatory systems, significant progress in quantum mechanics and relativity, chaos and complex systems, fuzzy dynamics, genetic algorithms and soft computing, time, anticipation and hyperincursion, anticipation in psychology and cognition, anticipation, decision making, economy and social systems, and, computational intelligence, control and computing systems.
