The volume contains the proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Model-Oriented Design and Analysis, within a series of workshops that initially had the purpose of bringing together leading scientists from Eastern and Western Europs for the exchange of ideas in theoretical and applied statistics, with special emphasis on experimental design. The participants of these workshops have developed into a community with a range of common interests that are centred around the theory and applications of optimum design of experiments. In addition to this, the volume contains a series of special papers on topics from medical and pharmaceutical statistics

The Fifth International Workshop on Model-Oriented Data Analysis (MODA5) focused on experimental design, particularly optimum design. A strength of this series of workshops is that they bring together leading scientists from "Eastern" and "Western" Europe. The proceedings therefore provides a valuable reference to the work of groups from many countries. In addition to 11 papers on optimum designs for linear and nonlinear models, there are groups of papers on designs for quality improvement, designs in agriculture and for model building. Non-design problems include robustness in linear models and estimation problems in nonlinear models. The volume concludes with a discussion on the teaching of experimental design
