Resumen: The Pyrenees International Workshop and Summer School on Statistics, Probability and Operations Research, SPO 2011, was held in Jaca (Spanish Pyrenees) from September 13 to September 16, 2011. The meeting combined the structure of a workshop and a summer school with invited conferences and contributed presentations. The school featured two advanced courses taught by Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Mc-Master University, Canada (Precedence-type testing and applications) and Jesu ́s Lo ́pez Fidalgo from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain (Design of experiments for nonlinear models), and two plenary con- ferences by professor Mar ́ıa Angeles Gil from the University of Oviedo, Spain (Random fuzzy sets: a probabilistic tool to develop statistics with imprecise data) and professor Ali S. Hadi from The American University in Cairo, Egypt (Multi-class data exploration using space transformed visualization plots). We thank them very sincerely. In the contributed sessions, the participants introduced recent devel- opments in Statistics, Probability and Operations Research. We also appreciate sincerely the contribution of all of them. This volume includes 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), Gobierno de Arago ́n and CTP (Work Com- munity of the Pyrenees). We also thank the University of Zaragoza for their financial and material support. We wish to express our gratitude to the many colleagues who care- fully 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.
