Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Systems Modelling and Management, ICSMM 2020, planned to be held in Bergen, Norway, in June 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference did not take place physically or virtually. The 10 full papers and 3 short papers were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 19 qualified submissions. The papers are organized according to the following topical sections: verification and validation; applications; methods, techniques and tools.

Model Management and Analytics for Large Scale Systems covers the use of models and related artefacts (such as metamodels and model transformations) as central elements for tackling the complexity of building systems and managing data. With their increased use across diverse settings, the complexity, size, multiplicity and variety of those artefacts has increased. Originally developed for software engineering, these approaches can now be used to simplify the analytics of large-scale models and automate complex data analysis processes. Those in the field of data science will gain novel insights on the topic of model analytics that go beyond both model-based development and data analytics. This book is aimed at both researchers and practitioners who are interested in model-based development and the analytics of large-scale models, ranging from big data management and analytics, to enterprise domains. The book could also be used in graduate courses on model development, data analytics and data management.

The basis of practical work of Samarkand Inter-regional burn Centre and Burn department of RSCUMA and literary data, regulations of scientific and practical achievements in treatment of foot burns and their consequences have been analysed in this book. The problems and tasks in the field of scientific research and treatment of foot burns have been interpreted in detail and in consistency. Particular attention is paid to necrectomy, application of biological coverings, autodermoplasty. Treatment of thermic injuries of bones and joints, clinic and principles of elimination of different deformations, localised in the foot area, have been described. This book is of great interest among combustiologists, traumatologists, orthopedicts and surgeons, performing reconstructive surgery.

Mr. Jalallar's autobiography gives us a unique insight into Afghanistan's sociopolitical situation and the changes it went through over the last half century, particularly during the last thirty or so years. Having served his country under three different regimes, his view is unique in that he not only witnessed the changes that swept the country during that time but his accounts help us see those changes from an entirely different perspective. With the current turmoil plaguing the country and the pictures we see in the media the autobiography is a breath of fresh air that takes us back to a time when the country's leaders were forward thinking, and focused on the country's advancement into modernity rather than holding on to backwardness. He sheds light on how his country, being poor and destitute, struggled toward modernization by seeking financial aide from the West on one side and from the USSR on the other. It is a fascinating account that shows how the country's fragile socioeconomic and political situation on the one hand and its geographic location, being a neighbor to the USSR, on the other put the country in a compromising position. It is an eye opening account of how the country's leadership struggled toward modernization and yet was unable to balance their relationship to the dichotomy of push and pull by the West from the one side and the USSR from the other. The account also sheds light on how the USSR took advantage of this fragility and invaded the country, leaving behind decades of war, destruction, and upheaval that is still yet to settle. In short Mr. Jalallar's autobiography is a fascinating account of his life experiences as a public servant to a country during a time when it was looking forward to modernization and development. By reading the account one gets a sense that the leadership may have tried too hard too fast to bring on those changes leading to some not too smart decisions that instead led the country toward destruction rather than the intended development. In any event, the reader will find the work and the person as extraordinary simply because while the country was going through changes that were of enormous proportions, it chose to at least keep one pillar in place. That pillar was Mr. Jalallar in his leadership position as the country's economic face to the world.
