The Second AETHER-MORPHEUS Workshop-Autumn
School entitled From Reconfigurable to Self - Adaptive Computing Systems
(AMWAS'08) will be organized in Lugano, Switzerland in
October 7-9, 2008. The innovative "Workshop-Autumn School" format
has been chosen to provide participants with both grounding on a new,
challenging scientific area and with exposure to research results and
proposals. The first part is dedicated to hardware, and the second to software.
