This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Computer Science Symposium in Russia, CSR 2014, held in Moscow, Russia, in June 2014. The 27 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. In addition the book contains 4 invited lectures. The scope of the proposed topics is quite broad and covers a wide range of areas in theoretical computer science and its applications.
