Workshop on Garbage Collection in Object-Oriented Systems
Sunday, October 21st, 1990
(in conjunction with the Joint ECOOP/OOPSLA'90 Conference)
Ottawa, Canada.
Inherent in most object-oriented systems is the basic notion that
all objects exist forever; thus there is no notion of neither object
destruction nor even of any kind of storage administration.
In actuality, when an object no longer can be referenced, it is
garbage collected by the run-time system.
In the past years, a substantial amount of effort has gone into
trying to make object garbage collection efficient.
This workshop will examine the issues and work toward identifying the
techinques used as well as the major problems being worked on.
Part of the workshop is devoted to the issue of garbage collection
in distributed object-oriented systems.
The workshop will last one full day. The format will alternate between
presentations (invited speakers and speakers chosen on the basis of
their position papers) and discussions of the issues raised by the speakers.
There will be short sections concerning specific topics, such as:
- Performance of existing techniques (presentation of
actual performance data)
- Distributed garbage collection
- Garbage collection for particular languages, such as Smalltalk.
The workshop is open to researchers and practioners who have actual
experience with garbage collection. Participation is by invitation and
will be limited to approximately 30 people. Invitation is based on
short position papers (2--5 pages). The deadline for position papers is
August 1st, 1990. Position papers will be reviewed and invitation sent
out by the end of August.
For participation, please send to the workshop organizers (at the
address given below):
1. Your name, e-mail address, surface mail address, fax and phone
numbers, and your affiliation.
2. Either a general position paper (for a 20-30 min. presentation)
or a shorter position paper (for a 10-15 min. presentation or
no presentation) on garbage collection in object-oriented systems
(in two copies).
The workshop is organized by Eric Jul and Niels Christian Juul,
Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
