This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Hybrid S- tems: Computation and Control(HSCC2005)heldinZurich, Switzerlandduring March 9-11, 2005. The annual workshop on hybrid systems attracts researchers from academia and industry interested in modeling, analysis, and implemen- tion of dynamic and reactive systems involving both discrete and continuous - haviors. The previous workshops in the HSCC series were held in Berkeley, USA (1998), Nijmegen, TheNetherlands(1999), Pittsburgh, USA(2000), Rome, Italy (2001), Palo Alto, USA (2002), Prague, Czech Republic (2003), and Philad-...

The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting hi- quality results in computer architecture and operating systems research. While the conference is proud of its long tradition, it is also proud to represent a - namic, evolving community that closely follows new research trends and topics. Thus, over the last few years, ARCS has evolved towards a strong focus on s- tem aspects of pervasive computing and self-organization techniques (organic and autonomic computing). At the same time it has expanded from its roots as a German Informatics Society (GI/ITG) conference to...
