With complex systems and complex requirements being a challenge that designers must face to reach quality results, multi-formalism modeling offers tools and methods that allow modelers to exploit the benefits of different techniques in a general framework intended to address these challenges. Theory and Application of Multi-Formalism Modeling boldly explores the importance of this topic by gathering experiences, theories, applications, and solutions from diverse perspectives of those involved with multi-formalism modeling. Professionals, researchers, academics, and students in this field will be able to critically evaluate the latest developments and future directions of multi-formalism research.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2019, held in Moscow, Russia, in October 2019. Methods of analytical and stochastic modelling are widely used in engineering to assess and design various complex systems, like computer and communication networks, and manufacturing systems. The 13 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers detail a diverse range of analysis techniques, including Markov processes, queueing theoretical results, reliability of stochastic systems, stochastic network calculus, and wide variety of applications.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation Systems, QEST 2020, held in Vienna, Austria, in August/September 2020. The 12 full papers presented together with 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover topics such as classic measures involving performance and reliability, quantification of properties that are classically qualitative, such as safety, correctness, and security as well as analytic studies, diversity in the model formalisms and methodologies employed, and development of new formalisms and methodologies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2019, held in Milan, Italy, in November 2019. The 10 papers presented in this volume together with one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop reflect the diversity of modern performance engineering, with topics ranging from modeling and analysis of network/control protocols and high performance/BigData information systems, analysis of scheduling, blockchain technology, analytical modeling and simulation of computer/network systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2015, held in Albena, Bulgaria, in May 2015. The 15 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers discuss the latest developments in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for stochastic systems, including Markov processes, queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets, process algebras, game theory, etc.
