This book includes selected papers of the 6th IFIP WG 10.2 International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems, SEUS 2008, held on Capri, Italy, in October 2008. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on model-driven development; middleware; real time; quality of service and performance; applications; pervasive and mobile systems: wireless embedded systems; synthesis, verification and protection.
