The book studies the impact of COVID-19 on the Chinese economy and the country's response to policies. It examines various aspects of national macroeconomic operations, industrial shocks, changes in financial markets, regional economic order, public governance challenges. It also analyzes changes in the world economy while integrating economic, financial, industrial, and environmental disciplines.At the macro level, the book emphasizes counter-cyclical responses, with an emphasis on comprehensive measures and precise efforts. It highlights differentiated development strategies for industries and promotes structural adjustment and supply-side reform. At the micro-level, the book emphasizes enterprises' resumption of work and production and supply chain management. The book promotes the concept of integration, stressing that China's economy was and is sufficiently resilient and the importance of maintaining and improving public confidence. At the same time, it attaches importance to prescribing the correct remedies for shortcomings, strengthening weaknesses, confronting the obstacles and difficulties in economic development, and restoring social order. The studies are not restricted to the facts but also focus on transforming and upgrading a modernized socialist economy and governance in the long term.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2020, held in Aachen, Germany, in May 2020.* The 12 full papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. 6 workshop papers are also included. ARCS has always been a conference attracting leading-edge research outcomes in Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, including a wide spectrum of topics ranging from embedded and real-time systems all the way to large-scale and parallel systems. The selected papers focus on concepts and tools for incorporating self-adaptation and self-organization mechanisms in high-performance computing systems. This includes upcoming approaches for runtime modifications at various abstraction levels, ranging from hardware changes to goal changes and their impact on architectures, technologies, and languages. *The conference was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
