Subject: CFP IWMM'95, Intl Workshop on Memory Management Message-ID: <1994Sep13.122059.2587@odin.diku.dk> Sender: eric@modi.diku.dk Date: Tue, 13 Sep 1994 12:20:59 GMT Organization: Department of Computer Science, U of Copenhagen Keywords: CFP Memory Management Garbage Collection Lines: 181 1995 International Workshop on MEMORY MANAGEMENT PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Memory Management (IWMM'95) Kinross, Scotland, UK September 27-29, 1995 Submission deadline: Februrary 13, 1995 Memory management of dynamically allocated memory (MM) plays a large and increasingly important part in the interface between sophisticated languages (Lisp, Scheme, ML, Prolog, Smalltalk, Modula-3, Eiffel, constraint languages, etc.) and operating systems. MM interacts with real-time scheduling, concurrency control, parallel threads, persistent objects, distributed objects, active objects, orphan elimination, finalization, multi-lingual environments, etc. Advances in memory devices (speed, size, power, access characteristics, compression) and the demands of new applications (e.g., desktop audio/video, distributed databases/applications on high performance, low-latency networks) provide additional problems and opportunities in MM. IWMM'92 was a highly successful workshop which brought together researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of MM. IWMM'95 is intended to keep the same wide-ranging and eclectic scope to promote the cross-fertilization that was achieved by IWMM'92. In addition to a mix of theoretical and practical papers, we are also seeking papers with interdisciplinary and/or pioneering content. It is planned to publish the proceedings of the workshop in the Springer Verlag LNCS series. A non-exclusive selection of topics of interest follows: Explicit alloc/free algorithms/measurements Garbage Collection (GC) Parallel/real-time GC Multilingual GC Environment structures Static/Dynamic MM Backtracking and MM Constraints and MM MM for parallel languages MM and memory hierarchies Precaching strategies and MM Compile time GC Definition/minimization of storage leaks MM of persistent objects MM of distributed objects Architecture/OS support for MM MM and distributed shared memory Hardware support for MM&GC MM performance analysis & optimization tools Reflective MM Correctness and analysis Laziness and MM Program committee: Henry Baker, Chair Nimble Computer, USA Yves Bekkers IRISA, France Hans-Jurgen Boehm Xerox PARC, USA Jacques Cohen Brandeis University, USA Bart Demoen K.
