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,...

Embedded and ubiquitous computing systems have considerably increased their scope of application over the past few years, and they now also include missi- and business-critical scenarios. The advances call for a variety of compelling - sues, including dependability, real-time, quality-of-service, autonomy, resource constraints, seamless interaction, middleware support, modeling, veri?cation, validation, etc. The International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems (SEUS) brings together experts in the ?eld of emb- ded and ubiquitous computing systems with...

Das vorliegende Buch gibt zunachst eine Darstellung der grundlegenden Prinzipien der Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren. Anschlieend wird detailliert der neueste Stand der Technik dieser Hardware-Bausteine erlautert, und es werden alle wichtigen Entwicklungstendenzen bis hin zum aktuellen Forschungsstand vorgestellt. Ferner werden in der Praxis haufig verwendete Mikrocontroller und Mikroprozessoren in ihrer Funktionsweise analysiert und zukunftsweisende Technologien dieser Bausteine aufgezeigt. Dieses Buch ist besonders geeignet fur Studierende der Informatik oder Elektrotechnik im...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2011, held in Lake Como, Italy, in February 2011. The 22 revised full papers presented in seven technical sessions were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on customization and application specific accelerators; multi/many-core architectures; adaptive system architectures; processor architectures; memory architectures optimization; organic and autonomic computing; network-on-chip architectures.

This book describes the emerging field of self-organizing, multicore, distributed and real-time embedded systems. Self

‐organization of both hardware and software can be a key technique to handle the growing complexity of modern computing systems. Distributed systems running hundreds of tasks on dozens of processors, each equipped with multiple cores, requires self‐organization principles to ensure efficient and reliable operation. This book addresses various, so-called Self‐X features such as self-configuration, self‐optimization, self‐adaptation,...
