Embedded and ubiquitous computing systems have significantly expanded their applications, now encompassing mission- and business-critical scenarios. This evolution raises several important issues, including dependability, real-time performance, quality of service, autonomy, resource constraints, seamless interaction, middleware support, modeling, verification, and validation. The International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems (SEUS) unites experts in this field to share ideas and advance the state of the art regarding these challenges. I had the honor of chairing the sixth edition of the workshop, which upheld the tradition of delivering high-quality research. Hosting the event in the beautiful setting of Capri, with its breathtaking views and rich traditions, was particularly rewarding. SEUS began in 2003 as an IEEE event and became a flagship event of the IFIP Working Group 10.2 on embedded systems in 2007. Recent editions took place in locations such as Hakodate, Vienna, Seattle, Gyeongju, and Santorini, often co-located with the IEEE International Symposium on Object/Component/Service-Oriented Real-Time Distributed Computing (ISORC). This year marked SEUS's first standalone event, and despite organizational challenges, it showcased high-quality contributions from four continents, presented by senior scientists from academia and leading industrial research centers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2008, held in Dresden, Germany, in February 2008. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The papers cover a wide spectrum reaching from pre-fabrication adaptation of architectural templates to dynamic run-time adaptation of deployed systems with special focus on adaptivity and adaptive system architectures. The papers are organized in topical sections on hardware design, pervasive computing, network processors and memory management, reconfigurable hardware, real-time architectures, organic computing, and computer architecture.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt zunächst eine Darstellung der grundlegenden Prinzipien der Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren. Anschließend wird detailliert der neueste Stand der Technik dieser Hardware-Bausteine erläutert, und es werden alle wichtigen Entwicklungstendenzen bis hin zum aktuellen Forschungsstand vorgestellt. Ferner werden in der Praxis häufig verwendete Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren in ihrer Funktionsweise analysiert und zukunftsweisende Technologien dieser Bausteine aufgezeigt. Dieses Buch ist besonders geeignet für Studierende der Informatik oder Elektrotechnik im fortgeschrittenen Grundstudium oder zu Beginn des Hauptstudiums sowie in der Praxis stehende Fachleute der Elektrotechnik, Automatisierungstechnik und hardwarenahen Informatik, die mit der Planung und der Entwicklung oder dem Einsatz von Mikrocontrollern und Mikroprozessoren befasst sind.
