Organic Computing has emerged as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Its basis is the insight that we will increasingly be surrounded by and depend on large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organising themselves in order to perform actions and services required by the users.   These networks of intelligent systems surrounding us open fascinating application areas and at the same time bear the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct such systems as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. The technical systems, which can achieve these goals will have to exhibit life-like or "organic" properties. "Organic Computing Systems" adapt dynamically to their current environmental conditions. In order to cope with unexpected or undesired events they are self-organising, self-configuring, self-optimising, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware, while offering complementary interfaces for higher-level directives with respect to the desired behaviour. First steps towards adaptive and self-organising computer systems are being undertaken. Adaptivity, reconfigurability, emergence of new properties, and self-organisation are hot topics in a variety of research groups worldwide.   This book summarises the results of a 6-year priority research program (SPP) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) addressing these fundamental challenges in the design of Organic Computing systems. It presents and discusses the theoretical foundations of Organic Computing, basic methods and tools, learning techniques used in this context, architectural patterns and many applications. The final outlook shows that in the mean-time Organic Computing ideas have spawned a variety of promising new projects.

The 8th IFIP Workshop on Software Technologies for Embedded and Ubiq- tous Systems (SEUS 2010) in Waidhofen/Ybbs, Austria, October 13-15, 2010, succeeded the seven previous workshops in Newport Beach, USA (2009); Capri, Italy (2008); Santorini, Greece (2007); Gyeongju, Korea (2006); Seattle, USA (2005); Vienna, Austria (2004); and Hokodate, Japan (2003); installing SEUS as a successfully established workshop in the ?eld of embedded and ubiquitous systems. SEUS 2010 continued the tradition of fostering cross-community scienti?c excellence and establishing strong links between research and industry. SEUS 2010 provided a forum where researchers and practitioners with substantial - periences and serious interests in advancing the state of the art and the state of practice in the ?eld of embedded and ubiquitous computing systems gathered with the goal of fostering new ideas, collaborations, and technologies. The c- tributions in this volume present advances in integrating the ?elds of embedded computing and ubiquitous systems. The call for papers attracted 30 submissions from all around the world. Each submission was assigned to at least four members of the Program Committee for review. The Program Committee decided to accept 21 papers, which were arranged in eight sessions. The accepted papers are from Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Portugal, Taiwan, UK, and USA. Two keynotes complemented the strong technical program.
