Tenth Symposium on General Topology

and its Relations to Modern Analysis and Algebra

was held in August 13–19, 2006 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was organized by the Mathematical Institute of Czech Academy of Sciences and the Centre for Theoretical Study in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the Institute of Chemical Technology, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Economics, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and DIMATIA of the Charles University and Elsevier.
