Performance Engineering and Stochastic Modeling

This volume gathers peer-reviewed papers from two events that ran together in December 2021: the 17th European Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering (EPEW 2021) and the 26th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications (ASMTA 2021). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, both were held online.

From 39 submissions, the reviewers selected 29 papers for inclusion. Together they show how wide the field of modern performance evaluation has become. The studies cover the modeling and analysis of network and control protocols, high-performance and big data information systems, and scheduling. They also address blockchain technology and the analytical modeling and simulation of computer and network systems.
