1st MM-NET Workshop on Analytical Techniques for Memory Management University of Kent at Canterbury 15th May 2003 Call for papers and participation There has been a recent increase in interest in applying analytical techniques to the prediction and modelling of memory management, which is broadly defined to include . garbage collection of main-memory, peristent and distributed systems; . explicit dynamic memory allocation/de-allocation . measurement of object demographics . interactions with languages and operating systems The UK's MM-NET (Memory Management Network) therefore proposes to hold a 1-day workshop on analytical techniques for memory management on Thurs 15th May 2003 at the University of Kent at Canterbury (venue and time to be confirmed). Topics of interest include but are not limited to static prediction and bounding of memory usage; garbage collection supported by compile-time techniques; memory management models. The keynote address will be given by Prof. Greg Morrisett, Cornell University. Participation is welcomed from both academic and industrial sectors. Registration is free for mm-net members and should be made through http://www.mm-net.org.uk/ Coffees and lunch will be provided.
