This book constitutes the referred proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Practical Applications of Stochastic Modelling, PASM 2022, was held in Alicante, Spain, in September 2022. The 7 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 9 submissions. The papers demonstrate a diverse set of applications and approaches of stochastic modelling.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th European Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2023, and 27th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2023, held in Florence, Italy, in June 2023. The 26 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop reflect the diversity of modern performance engineering. The sessions covered a wide range of topics including robustness analysis, machine learning, edge and cloud computing, as well as more traditional topics on stochastic modelling, techniques and tools.
Oesophagogastric Surgery provides a short, up-to-date and practical reference guide for surgical trainees and established consultants needing an update in their subspecialty practice The seventh edition has been edited and fully revised by respected international experts in their fields, and provides a full list of current references and relevant resources. It includes a focus on early cancer and covers new developments in hiatal surgery and bariatric surgery. This volume is part of the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series, the pre-eminent reference for trainees in general surgery and those preparing for the FRCS examinations. Each volume summarises key issues within each surgica...
This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2012, held in Munich, Germany, and the 28th UK Performance Engineering Workshop, UKPEW 2012, held in Edinburgh, UK, in July 2012. The 15 regular papers and one poster presentation paper presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics from classical performance modeling areas such as wireless network protocols and parallel execution of scientific codes to hot topics such as energy-aware computing to unexpected ventures into ranking professional tennis players. In addition to new case studies, the papers also present new techniques for dealing with the modeling challenges brought about by the increasing complexity and scale of systems today.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th EuropeanWorkshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2017, held in Berlin,Germany, in September 2017. The 18 papers presented together with the abstracts of two invited talks in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop reflect the diversity of modern performanceengineering, with topics ranging from advances in Markov models; advances in quantitative analysis; model checking; and cyber-physical systems to performance, energy and security.

In the decades following World War Two, and in part in response to the Cold War, governments across Western Europe set out ambitious programmes for social welfare and the redistribution of wealth that aimed to improve the everyday lives of their citizens. Many of these welfare state programmes - housing, schools, new towns, cultural and leisure centres – involved not just construction but a new approach to architectural design, in which the welfare objectives of these state-funded programmes were delineated and debated. The impact on architects and architectural design was profound and far-reaching, with welfare state projects moving centre-stage in architectural discourse not just in Euro...
Swarm Intelligence in Cloud Computing is an invaluable treatise for researchers involved in delivering intelligent optimized solutions for reliable deployment, infrastructural stability, and security issues of cloud-based resources. Starting with a bird’s eye view on the prevalent state-of-the-art techniques, this book enriches the readers with the knowledge of evolving swarm intelligent optimized techniques for addressing different cloud computing issues including task scheduling, virtual machine allocation, load balancing and optimization, deadline handling, power-aware profiling, fault resilience, cost-effective design, and energy efficiency. The book offers comprehensive coverage of th...
