AnimportantdeliverablefortheHiPEACNetworkofExcellenceisaroadmap ofthechallengesfacinghigh-performanceembeddedarchitecturesandcompilers. The HiPEAC community has put together a roadmap along ten themes that highlights the research challenges we are faced with in the next decade. I am pleased that the roadmapappears in this volume. It is the second regular paper. Apart from publishing regular papers, Transactions on HiPEAC will so- times publish papers on special topics or highlights from conferences. This v- ume contains three such specialized themes organized into three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Part 1 is devoted to the best papers of the 2005 Inter- tional Conference on High-PerformanceEmbedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2005). Part 2 is devoted to the topic of optimizing compilers and is edited by Mike O’Boyle, University of Edinburgh, Fran¸ cois Bodin, IRISA, and Marcelo Cintra, University of Edinburgh. Finally, Part 3 is devoted to the best papers on embedded architectures and compilers from the 2006 ACM Inter- tional Conference on Computing Frontiers and is edited by Sally A. McKee, Cornell University. Organizing speci?c themes in this journal will be a rec- ring activity in the future and I encourage prospective guest editors to propose themes for future volumes. Finally, I have been fortunate to engage a set of distinguished members of our community to form the ?rst editorial board. It is my pleasure to introduce this set of ?ne people.
