Resumen: The Pyrenees International Workshop and Summer School on Statistics, Probability and Operations Research, SPO 2009, was held in Jaca (Spanish Pyrenees) from September 15 to September 18, 2009. The meeting combined the structure of a workshop and a summer school with invited conferences and contributed presentations. The school featured two advanced short courses taught by Carlos A. Coello Coello from the CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico (A Tutorial on Multi-Objective Optimization using Metaheuristics) and Alejandro Maass from the Center for Mathematical Modelling, University of Chile, Chile (Rigidity results in cellular automata theory: probabilistic and ergodic theory approach), and a plenary conference by professor Alberto Rodr ́ıguez Casal from the University of Santiago de Compostela , Spain (Some statistical procedures for boundary estimation and image analysis). We thank them very sincerely. In the contributed sessions, the participants introduced recent developments in Statistics, Probability and Operations Research. We also appreciated sincerely the contribution of all of them. This volume includes extended notes of the courses developed in the conference and some of the presentations; all papers have been refereed. It is very satisfactory for us to present it to the scientific community. We thank specially the financial support provided by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Spain) and Gobierno de Aragón. Thanks are also due to the Social Council of the University of Zaragoza, CTP (Work Community of the Pyrenees), Multicaja and University of Pau et des Pays de l’Adour. We also thank the University of Zaragoza for their financial and material support. We wish to express our gratitude to the many colleagues (some participants at the workshop) who carefully reviewed the papers in the present volume and made many helpful suggestions for their improvement. Special thanks are due to all members of the Scientific and Organizing committees; their generous work had a decisive influence in the success of the conference. We are also indebted to all others who helped in the organization of the conference and provided assistance to participants, in particular, Juan Marta and Daniel Sanz. We hope that the next edition of the Pyrenees conference, SPO 2011, to be held in September 2011 will be as successful as this one.
