Preface<br />

The ARCS series <strong>of</strong> conferences has over 30 years <strong>of</strong> tradition report<strong>in</strong>g top-notch<br />

results <strong>in</strong> computer architecture and operat<strong>in</strong>g systems research. It is organized<br />

by the special <strong>in</strong>terest group on “<strong>Computer</strong> and System <strong>Architecture</strong>”<strong>of</strong> the GI<br />

(Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.) and ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft<br />

im VDE Information Technology Society). In 2010, ARCS was hosted by Leibniz<br />

University Hannover.<br />

This year’s special focus was on heterogeneous systems. The conference’s<br />

topics comprised design aspects <strong>of</strong> multi-cores and memory systems, adaptive<br />

system architectures such as reconfigurable systems <strong>in</strong> hardware and s<strong>of</strong>tware,<br />

customization and application-specific accelerators <strong>in</strong> heterogeneous architectures,<br />

organic and autonomic comput<strong>in</strong>g, energy-awareness, system aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

ubiquitous and pervasive comput<strong>in</strong>g, and embedded systems.<br />

The call for papers attracted about 55 submissions from all around the world.<br />

Each submission was assigned to at least three members <strong>of</strong> the Program Committee<br />

for review. The Program Committee decided to accept 20 papers, which<br />

were arranged <strong>in</strong> seven sessions. The accepted papers are from Belgium, Ch<strong>in</strong>a,<br />

France, Germany, Italy, Spa<strong>in</strong>, Turkey, and the UK. Two keynotes on heterogeneous<br />

systems complemented the strong technical program.<br />

We would like to thank all those who contributed to the success <strong>of</strong> this conference,<br />

<strong>in</strong> particular the members <strong>of</strong> the Program Committee (and the additional<br />

reviewers) for carefully review<strong>in</strong>g the contributions and select<strong>in</strong>g a high-quality<br />

program. The Workshops and Tutorials were organized and coord<strong>in</strong>ated perfectly<br />

by Michael Beigl and Francisco J. Cazorla Almeida. Our special thanks go<br />

to the members <strong>of</strong> the Organiz<strong>in</strong>g Committee for their numerous contributions:<br />

Ra<strong>in</strong>er Buchty set up the conference s<strong>of</strong>tware. Thomas B. Preußler designed and<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed the website. David Kramer and Mart<strong>in</strong> Sch<strong>in</strong>dewolf took over the<br />

tremendous task <strong>of</strong> prepar<strong>in</strong>g this volume. We especially would like to thank<br />

Yvonne Bernard, Jörg Hähner, Björn Hurl<strong>in</strong>g, and Jürgen Brehm for tak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

care <strong>of</strong> the local arrangements and the many other aspects <strong>of</strong> prepar<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
