These trends are the major topics of ARCS 2002, the ""International Conf- ence on Architecture of Computing Systems"", which continues and replaces the biennial series of German Conferences on Architecture of Computing Systems, organized by the special interest group on ""Computer and System Architecture"" of the GI (Gesellschaft fur .. Informatik - German Informatics Society) and the ITG (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft - Information Technology Society). The ?fteen predecessor conferences (except the EuroArch in 1993) were national conferences only, this is the ?rst German conference on computer architecture addressingtheinternationalresearchcommunity. Itservesasaforumtopresent current work by researchers from around the world, this year being focused on topics that aretruly changingourperception ofinformation processing- ""Trends in Network and Pervasive Computing"".
