We celebrate this meeting in Honour of Professor João Tiago Mexia, for his brilliant career and outstanding contribution to the field of Statistics in Portugal and abroad, and to whom we are deeply grateful for all the support, kindness and precious collaboration in our meetings! 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 3 to 5th June in the Aberta University, and we emphasize our huge gratitude to the Magnificent Rector, for kindly accepting to embrace this challenge of hosting once more this International Conference! The WSMC was successfully organized in several places along the 13 editions and we believe that our meetings have been creating very nice op portunities for showcasing the growth and development of the focused main areas, in a time underlined by so many new technologies and huge emerging challenges. The scientific exchanges of ideas between participants is always helpful for generating positive impact on propelling the advancement of sci ence and technology and some of these results have already been successfully published in high standard Journals, special issues and Springer Series Books. Also now, in this 13th edition, the participants have the opportunity to submit their work to high referenced Journals and Book volumes. Selected papers, after peer review, will appear in the Chilean Journal of Statistics (ChJS), Journal of Applied Statistics (JAS), Biometrical Letters, Biometrics & Biostatistics International Journal (BBIJ) and in Springer volumes of the Series Contributions to Statistics. Details will be soon announced in our webpage. We are highly grateful to all the participants, Invited Speakers, members of Scientific Committee, Session Organizers and Authors who submitted ab v vi Preface stracts, for their valuable contribution and for the enthusiastic way how their participation is assumed! We greatly acknowledge all the sponsors and contributors who made this meeting a reality and we reinforce the importance of our social programme. This year it includes the nice opportunity to visit the National Museum of Natural History and Science and the Botanical Garden, allowed all the week, from 3 to 9 of June - during and after WSMC13. We are really grateful to the Director of the Department of Museums Management Support and IICT, Dr Vitor Lucas and to his team, for kindly offering this outstanding opportunity to all the participants of WSMC13. A deeply thanks is addressed to all the members of the Organizing Com mittee, emphasizing the invaluable collaboration of Dr. Virginia Zaidam, the crucial help of the Gabinete de Comunicação e de Relações Internacionais UAB team, and the very hard work of Amílcar, Sandra and Dário on the organization and supervision of many of the programme and schedule de tails, preparing the website and the abstracts book in an incredible record time! Finally, as I guess most of you already noticed, Lisbon is very much enjoyable for offering a rich and varied history, a buzzing nightlife and for being blessed with a glorious year-round climate, where the sky joins the ocean and the city is kissed by the river Tagus. Please take some of your time to enjoy and take profit of it! Don’t forget to taste the famous "Pastéis de Belém" and to listen to Fado music! We wish you all a very productive and successfull meeting, as well as a pleasant and memorable stay in Lisbon, the stunning capital of Portugal!
