The conference comprises of invited, organized and contributed sessions. A number of tutorials will be given during the conference. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in computational methods, methodology for data analysis and applications in statistics. All topics within the broad interface of Computing & Statistics will be considered for oral and poster presentation. Topics includes, but not limited to: robust statistics, categorical data analysis, computational Bayesian methods, multivariate data analysis, time series analysis, signal processing, biostatistics, biocomputing, clustering and classification, functional data analysis, nonparametric statistics, optimization heuristics in statistical modelling, data visualization, sampling methods, spatial statistics, computational econometrics, machine learning, numerical methods in statistics, symbolic data analysis, high-dimensional data analysis, parametric and semiparametric models, mixture models, computer-aided data analysis, extreme value theory and applications, kernel methods and Monte Carlo methods. In order to promote the participation of young researchers, the ERS IASC will offer three prizes, each worth of 500 Euro, for the three best contributions submitted by young participants. Keynote speakers: Stanley P. Azen, Trevor Hastie and Elvezio Ronchetti Scientific Program Committee: Ex-officio: Erricos John Kontoghiorghes, Gilbert Saporta, Manfred Gilli, Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi.
