IEEE SPA Conferences grew up from Signal Processing (SP) W orkshops organized by the Polish IEEE Circuits and Systems Chapter (CAS Ch apter for short) since 1993. Starting with the second ten of the SP Worksh ops\, the name of the meetings was supplemented by a subtitle: "Algorithms \, Architectures\, Arrangements\, and Applications". Thus we are having no w four reasons to use the abbreviation SPA instead of the previously used SP. The workshops have been transformed into conferences and in 2008 the s econd Chapter of the IEEE Poland Section\, namely the Signal Processing Ch apter (SP Chapter for short)\, joint the conference organization. As the p leasant name ``SPA'' usually means "sanus per aquam"\, we should associate our SPA meeting with the motto "healthy and happy due to signal processin g algorithms\, architectures\, arrangements\, and applications". Among the SPA aims are: presentation of the newest achievements in a wide and inter disciplinary area of signal processing and integration of researchers acti ve in this and in related fields of science and technology\, as these spec ialists usually represent various and to some extent even disjoint scienti fic disciplines. Distinguished scientists and experts were our guests and participants. We were having three very interesting tutorial presentations \, which covered a quite broad spectrum of signal processing problems and\ , as I hope\, evoked strong resonance in the audience. Among others they w ere prepared by: Professor Christian Kollmitzer\, Professor Piotr Targowsk i\, and Professor Heinrich Theodor Vierhaus. I am sure that also all other presentations\, especially this given by Professor Kamisetty Ramamohan Ra o\, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas\, Arlin gton\, USA\, the co-inventor of the discrete cosine transform\, were very interesting to all SPA 2010 participants. The second day the SPA schedule contained presentations of chosen results of the European Seventh Framewor k Programme INDECT ``Intelligent Information System Supporting Observation \, Searching\, and Detection for Security of Citizens in Urban Environment ''. Last but not least we offered three Lab View workshops. Two of them we re prepared by specialists from National Instruments and the third one was prepared by the SPA organizers.
