This book provides the most up-to-date overview of EU-funded research on Multi- and Many-core Computing Systems. Several relevant projects are considered, each of them providing a unique integrated or focused team involving leading European Universities, Institutions and Industries that attack the challenges and provide different solutions to realize future computers.

MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) products utilize robust processes from the semiconductor industry to make a wide variety of electronic devices smaller, more reliable and cheaper to manufacture. In the field of electro acoustic systems MEMs are now being deployed to develop miniaturized electro acoustic devices. The applications of electro acoustic systems range from miniaturized condenser microphones to speakers, hearing aids, ultrasonic transducers, proximity sensing, and biomedical imaging.
