CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Memory Management
St Malo, France
September 17th-19th 1992
High level languages, like Lisp, ML, Scheme, Smalltalk, Modula-3, C++,
Prolog, constraint languages, etc. rely heavily on a very important
feature of their runtime systems, namely Memory Management (MM) of
dynamically allocated storage. 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
