This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP TC 10 Working Conference on Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems, DIPES 2010 and the 3rd IFIP TC 10 International Conference on Biologically-Inspired Collaborative Computing, BICC 2010, held as part of the 21st World Computer Congress, WCC 2010, in Brisbane, Australia, in September 2010. The 18 revised full papers presented at DIPES were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on specification and modeling; fault tolerance; verification and validation; code-generation, simulation and timing analysis; and distributed architectures and design support. The 8 revised full papers presented at BICC were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They deal with organic computing, autonomic computing, self-organizing systems, pervasive computing and related areas.
