Opis

It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of the 16th International ConferenceonAnalyticalandStochasticModellingTechniquesandApplications (ASMTA 2009) that took place in Madrid. The conference has become an established annual event in the agenda of the experts of analytical modelling and performance evaluation in Europe and internationally. This year the proceedings continued to be published as part of Springer's prestigiousLecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. This is another sign of the growing con?dence in the quality standards and procedures followed in the reviewing process and the program compilation. Following the traditions of the conference, ASMTA 2009, was honored to have a distinguished keynote speaker in the person of Kishor Trivedi. Professor Trivedi holds the Hudson Chair in the Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringatDukeUniversity, Durham, NC, USA. HeistheDuke-SiteDirector of an NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center between NC State University and Duke University for carrying out applied research in computing and communications. He has been on the Duke faculty since 1975. He is the author of a well-known text entitled Probability and Statistics with Reliability, Queuing and Computer Science Applications, published by Prentice-Hall, the secondeditionofwhichhasjustappeared. Hehasalsopublishedtwootherbooks entitled Performance and Reliability Analysis of Computer Systems, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, and Queueing Networks and Markov Chains, by John Wiley. He is also known for his work on the modelling and analysis of software aging and rejuvenation. The conference maintained the tradition of high-quality programs with an acceptance rate of about 40%.
