This book presents the best papers from the 1st International Conference on Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy (MARBLE) 2019, held in Santorini, Greece. While most blockchain conferences and forums are dedicated to business applications, product development or Initial Coin Offering (ICO) launches, this conference focused on the mathematics behind blockchain to bridge the gap between practice and theory.Every year, thousands of blockchain projects are launched and circulated in the market, and there is a tremendous wealth of blockchain applications, from finance to healthcare, education, media, logistics and more. However, due to theoretical and technical barriers, most of these applications are impractical for use in a real-world business context. The papers in this book reveal the challenges and limitations, such as scalability, latency, privacy and security, and showcase solutions and developments to overcome them.

Itis ourpleasureto presenttheproceedingsofthe17thInternationalConference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling and Applications (ASMTA 2010). The conferencewasheldintheIconicWalesMillenniumCentreinCardi?,thevibrant capital city of Wales. ASMTA conferences have become established quality events in the calendar of analytical,numerical and even simulation experts in Europe and well beyond. In addition to regular participants from the main centers of expertise from the UK,Belgium,Germany,Russia,France,Italy,Latvia,Spain,Hungaryandmany other countries, we receive newcomers with interesting contributions from other countries such as Algeria, Canada and the USA. Although the conference has become a well-established event, every year ASMTAfeaturessomethingnew.Thisyear,andforthe ?rsttime,the conference was held completely independently and standalone. The decision was not easy as it has always been co-located with the European Conference on Modelling and Simulation. There were some who questioned its chances, but the outcome proved to be excellent. The quality of this year's program was exceptionally high.The conference started with a keynote talk on process algebra by a distinguished speaker in the person of Jane Hillston from the Department of Computer Science of the University of Edinburgh. In addition, 28 papers were accepted for presentation. As ever, the International Program Committee reviewed the submissions cr- ically and in detail, thereby helping in making the ?nal decision and also in providing the authors with useful comments to improve their papers. We would therefore like to thank every member of the International Program Committee for their time and e?orts. We thank everyone for their contribution to ASMTA 2010 and hope readers will enjoy the conference proceedings.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 10th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2013, held in Venice, Italy, in September 2013.The 16 regular papers presented together with 8 short papers and 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The Workshop aims to gather academic and industrial researchers working on all aspects of performance engineering.Original papers related to theoretical and methodological issues as well as case studies and automated tool support are solicited in the following areas: performance modeling and evaluation, system and network performance engineering, and software performance engineering.
