highly successful workshops that were held in Toledo (2004),
Versailles (2005), Budapest (2006), Berlin (2007) and Palma de
Mallorca (2008). As with previousEPEW workshops,the event was
supported by submissions from all over the world, including Asia,
the Middle East, North America, as well as Europe. There were 33
submissions in total of which 13 were selected for full papers and
four as short papers. I would like to commend the diligent e?orts
of the Programme Committee, who returned a complete set of reviews
– four per paper – which is most unusual. This enabled and enhanced
the week-long programme discussion which selected the papers
presented here. The papers themselves maintained the tradition of
diversity and quality that the European Performance Engineering
Workshop has supported throughout. Papers representing the di?erent
?elds of performance engineering and ana- sis, were broadly
classi?ed by applications, techniques and formalisms. In the
applications domain, we had a signi?cant contribution, I believe
for the ?rst time, in the modelling of auctions and markets. There
were also contributions on hardware modelling of RAID systems, as
well as ?ve papers on performance aspects of cellular and ?xed-line
networks. New techniques presented included a novel approach to
mean value analysis, an application of stochastic ordering to
queueingnetworksandaninterestingextensionofpassage-timeanalysis.
