Embedded systems have been almost invisibly pervading our daily lives for several decades. They facilitate smooth operations in avionics, automotive electronics, or telecommunication. New problems arise by the increasing employment, interconnection, and communication of embedded systems in heterogeneous environments: How secure are these embedded systems against attacks or breakdowns? Therefore, how can embedded systems be designed to be more secure? How can embedded systems autonomically react to threats? Facing these questions, Sorin A. Huss is significantly involved in the exploration of design methodologies for secure embedded systems. This Festschrift is dedicated to him and his research on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Preface
This Festschrift is dedicated to Mr. Sorin A. Huss by his friends and his Ph.D. students to honor him duly on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Mr. Sorin A. Huss was born in Bukarest, Romania on May 21, 1950. He attended a secondary school with emphasis on mathematic and scientific topics in Dachau near Munich and after his Abitur he studied Electrical Engineering with the discipline information technology at the Technische Universit¨ at M¨ unchen. 1976 he started his career at this university as the first research assistant at the newly established chair for design automation. Due to his very high ability he was a particularly important member of the staff especially in the development phase. In his research Mr. Huss dealt with methods for design automation of integrated circuits. The results of his research activities and his dissertation “Zur interaktiven Optimierung integrierter Schaltungen” were published in very hig
