ICGI 2010 is the tenth edition of the International Colloquium on Grammatical
Inference series which is a biennial conference being considered the most
successful conference related to Grammatical Inference.

The conference will take place at the city of Valencia which is the third

where centenary traditions live together with modernity. Its climate is
mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers. The city contains a dense
monumental heritage together with the City of Arts and Sciences an avant-garde
