This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation Systems, QEST 2021, held in Paris, France, in August 2021. The 21 full papers and 2 short papers presented together with 2 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topics: probabilistic model checking; quantitative models and metamodels: analysis and validation; queueing systems; learning and verification; simulation; performance evaluation; abstractions and aggregations; and stochastic models.
