[Eric Jul.]

		  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
