The sixth meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics Asia Pacific Rim Meeting (IMS-APRM), will take place in Melbourne, Australia. It will provide an excellent worldwide forum for scientific communications and collaborations for researchers in Asia and the Pacific Rim, and promote communications and collaborations between the researchers in this area and those from other parts of the world. The sixth meeting will continue and extend the accomplishments of the previous meetings, and will add a significant value to our continuous efforts to carry out our common mission in the statistical profession.
