✦ Synopsis

In recent years, a wide-ranging set of performance evaluation methodologies and tools has been developed within disparate research communities for the purposes of evaluation, design, and model reduction. It is therefore of great importance to build bridges between these communities, bringing theory and practice together in order to compare and debate the advantages and disadvantages of competing performance evaluation methodologies, as well as their implementation into tools, and to promote interdisciplinary flow of technical information among industry systems designers and researchers.

This special issue of Performance Evaluation presents expanded versions of selected papers from the International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools, ValueTools 2007, which took place in Nantes, France. This conference was the second of a series initiated in 2006 in Pisa, Italy. The 2007 ValueTools conference was organized over three days, from the 23rd of October to the 25th, with four associated workshops.
