Techniques, such as static program analysis, are also designed to improve the efficiency of implementations. Both static and dynamic MM, depend on the language they have been designed for. However, the problems which are handled and solved by MM are very general and it is worth looking at them as fundamental problems with general solutions. This three-day workshop offers an opportunity to bring together communities of re- searchers working on a common problem but with different backgrounds and approaches. For example, the workshop could be a good place for a spirited discussion between garbage collection "purists", attached to the specificities of a language and "pragmatists", who con- sider the environment as being as important as the language itself. Both original research papers and survey papers on practical and theoretical approaches to MM are welcome. A non-exclusive list of topics of interest follows : Garbage Collection (GC) Incremental GC Parallel, real-time GC Compile time GC Conservative GC Correctness and analysis Environment structures Register allocation Static / Dynamic MM Explicit / Implicit MM Backtracking mechanism and MM Lazyness and MM Constraints and MM Persistance of objects and MM MM for parallel languages MM on distributed systems Hierarchical memories and MM Hardware and OS support for MM Integrating GC with existing environments Program committee : Joel F.

Toulouse Workshop format and accommodation : The workshop is limited to about 60 selected participants. It will take place in the convention center called "Palais du grand large" situated in St Malo, a very attractive and picturesque 15th century town on the northern coast of Brittany, well known for its famous "corsaires" and sailing ships. A dinner/cruise party is planned. Access from Paris to St Malo is easy by TGV and train or by plane (Dinard airport, 6 km from the convention center).
