We are delighted to have this celebration fostering strong interaction between national and international researchers, leading to a successful com mitment and enthusiasm on promoting research in and between the broad areas of Statistics, Mathematics and Computation. It is a great pleasure to receive all our guests and contributors from 9 to 10 th November in UBI Universidade da Beira Interior, expressing our huge gratitude to the Univer sity Coordinators for kindly accepted to embrace this challenge of receiving us again! The WSMC was successfully organized in several places along these last 12 years and we believe that our meetings have been creating very nice opportunities for showcasing the growth and development of the focused main areas, at a time when so many new technologies are available and huge challenges are emerging. The idea exchanges between participants are al ways helpful for generating positive impact on propelling the advancement of science and technology and some of these results have been published in high standard Journals, special issues and Springer Series Books. Also in this 12th WSMC edition the participants will have several journal oppor tunities for papers submission. Selected papers, after review, will appear in Journal of Applied Statistics, Biometrical Letters, Biometrics & Biostatis tics International Journal (BBIJ) and in a new Springer volume of the Series Contributions to Statistics. We are hightly grateful to all the participants, Invited Speakers, Session Organizers and Authors who submitted abstracts, for their valuable contri bution and for the enthusiastic way how they assume their participation.
