Editorial

This large volume of special issue includes all regular papers presented at Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK) 2018 that brings together three leading conferences (CASES, CODES+ISSS, and EMSOFT) in the embedded systems area. ESWEEK is a unique premier event that covers all aspects of embedded systems design and hardware/software architectures. ESWEEK presents a wide range of topics unveiling state-of-the-art techniques as can be found in this special issue. Following the journal-integrated publication model started last year, the three conferences conducted the journal-like two-stage peer-reviewed process before final decision. Acceptance rates have been about 25.5% for all conferences with a total number of 270 submissions to the journal track.
