摘要

This special issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science contains six papers from the Workshop on Domains IX held at the University of Sussex (Brighton), on 22-24 September 2008. This was the ninth event in the long tradition of Domains workshops, which started in Darmstadt in 1994. Since then, workshops have been organised in Braunschweig (1996), Munich (1997), Siegen (1998), Darmstadt again (1999, 2004), Birmingham (2002) and Novosibirsk (2007).
