Die Quantenwelt ist langst im Alltag angekommen, ohne dass es vielen bewusst ist. Dazu gehoeren Transistoren, Dioden und Laser, die aus Alltagsgeraten nicht mehr fortzudenken sind. Nach dieser ersten Generation der Quantentechnologien leben wir derzeit in der zweiten Generation, in der Grundprinzipien der Quantenmechanik gezielt in quantenmechanischen Geraten umgesetzt werden. Dazu gehoeren erste Prototypen von Quantencomputern, klassische Supercomputer mit Quantensimulation, Quantenkryptographie und Quantenkommunikation, Quantensensorik und Quantenmesstechnik. Was Einstein 1935 als spukhafter Effekt vorkam, ist langst Grundlage umwalzender Quantenkommunikation in Glasfasernetzen und Satellitentechnik, die ein zukunftiges Quanteninternet ankundigt. Quantencomputer als Mehrzweckrechner sind nur die Spitze des Eisbergs mit einer Technologie, die sich schrittweise als Netzwerk unserer Zivilisation ausbreitet. Umso dringender ist es, die Grundlagen der Quantenwelt als Hintergrund dieser Technologie zu verstehen. Grundlagen und Zusammenhange begreifen, von den mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen bis zu den technischen Anwendungen, ist ein zentrales Ziel des Buchs. Ein weiteres Anliegen dieses Buchs ist das Zusammenwachsen mit der Kunstlichen Intelligenz. In meinem Buch "Kunstliche Intelligenz. Wann ubernehmen die Maschinen?" (Springer 2. Aufl. 2019) wird Machine learning herausgestellt, das Automatisierung in Robotik, Industrie- und Arbeitswelt verwirklicht. Mit Quantentechnologie, Quantencomputer und kunstlicher Intelligenz zeichnet sich aber nicht nur eine Potenzierung neuer Moeglichkeiten ab, sondern auch von Gefahrdungen. Daher erhebt sich die Forderung nach fruhzeitiger Technikgestaltung, damit Quantentechnologie und Kunstliche Intelligenz sich als Dienstleistung in der Gesellschaft bewahren.

I am honored and delighted to write the foreword to this very first book about SystemC. It is now an excellent time to summarize what SystemC really is and what it can be used for. The main message in the area of design in the 2001 International Te- nologyRoadmapfor Semiconductors (ITRS) isthat"cost ofdesign is the greatest threat to the continuation ofthe semiconductor roadmap. " This recent revision of the ITRS describes the major productivity improvements of the last few years as "small block reuse," "large block reuse ," and "IC implementation tools. " In order to continue to reduce design cost, the - quired future solutions will be "intelligent test benches" and "embedded system-level methodology. " As the new system-level specification and design language, SystemC - rectly contributes to these two solutions. These will have the biggest - pact on future design technology and will reduce system implementation cost. Ittook SystemC less than two years to emerge as the leader among the many new and well-discussed system-level designlanguages. Inmy op- ion, this is due to the fact that SystemC adopted object-oriented syst- level design-the most promising method already applied by the majority of firms during the last couple of years. Even before the introduction of SystemC, many system designers have attempted to develop executable specifications in C++. These executable functional specifications are then refined to the well-known transaction level, to model the communication of system-level processes.

Based on a convergence of network technologies, the Next Generation Network (NGN) is being deployed to carry high quality video and voice data. In fact, the convergence of network technologies has been driven by the converging needs of end-users. The perceived end-to-end quality is one of the main goals required by users that must be guaranteed by the network operators and the Internet Service Providers, through manufacturer equipment. This is referred to as the notion of Quality of Experience (QoE) and is becoming commonly used to represent user perception. The QoE is not a technical metric, but rather a concept consisting of all elements of a user's perception of the network services. The authors of this book focus on the idea of how to integrate the QoE into a control-command chain in order to construct an adaptive network system. More precisely, in the context of Content-Oriented Networks used to redesign the current Internet architecture to accommodate content-oriented applications and services, they aim to describe an end-to-end QoE model applied to a Content Distribution Network architecture.
