Soft Computing is the fusion of methodologies that were designed to model and enable solutions to real world problems, which are not modeled, or too difficult to model, mathematically. These problems are typically associated with fuzzy, complex, and dynamical systems, with uncertain parameters. These systems are the ones that model the real world and are of most interest to the modern science.

Recently, the methodologies of Soft Computing such as neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy set, rough set, hybrid systems, etc have been employed in various applications in the area of astronomical  and geophysics data. Approaches based on soft computing  have been shown to be advantageous compared to classical approaches, in particular when classical solutions are hard or impossible to formulate and analyze.

The aim of this special session is to provide updated overview of the latest trends and developments in the field of soft computing  in applications to astronomy,   astrophysics, and geophysics.
