Summary
This volume contains the proceedings of the "Third Multidisciplinary Symposium on Positive Systems: Theory and Applications (POSTA09)" held in Valencia, Spain, September 2-4, 2009. At present, this is the only world congress whose main topic is focused on this field. After this third event, the basis of a regular triennial event supported in the task of the previous organizing committees has become established
