The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition in reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's special focus was set on adaptivity and adaptive system architectures. We covered a wide spectrum reaching from pre-fabrication adaptation of architectural templates to dynamic run-time adaptation of deployed systems. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continued to be an important forum for computer architecture research.

In 2008, ARCS was hosted by the Technische Universität Dresden, which has one of the leading IT schools in Europe. The proceedings of the ARCS 2008 were published in the Springer series Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS).

The conference offered a high-quality scientific program featuring two keynotes from academia and industry and seven focus sessions covering all aspects of computer architecture:

• hardware design,
• reconfigurable hardware,
• computer organisation,
• pervasive and organic computing,
• network processors, and
• real-time architectures.

An excellent workshop and tutorial selection was available as part of the conference.

Conference attendees also had access to the social events. We offered a visit of the world famous "Green Vault", the treasury of the Saxonian kings, a guided tour through the historic city center and a dinner banquet in one of the scenic restaurants of the city.
