***************************************************************************** Call For Papers The 2006 International Symposium on Memory Management (ISMM'06) Co-located with PLDI 2006 Ottawa, Canada June 10-11 2006 http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~erez/ismm06 ***************************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES: Submission: January 23, 2006, 11PM PST Notification: March 6, 2006 Camera-ready: Monday, April 3, 2006 ISMM is a forum for research in management of dynamically allocated memory. ISMM solicits full-length papers on all areas of memory management. Survey papers that present an aspect of memory management with a new clarity and insight are also welcome. Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, these topics, - Explicit storage allocation and de-allocation - Garbage collection algorithms and implementations - Compiler analyses to aid memory management - Interaction with languages, operating systems, and hardware, especially the memory system - Memory system interaction with programming languages, operating systems, and hardware. The ISMM 2006 paper reviewing process adds two features new to ISMM: double blind reviewing, and an opportunity for rebuttal; see the ISMM webpage for more details. Full submissions should be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices but including all figures and tables, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins for US Letter paper. Papers that violate these guidelines will be rejected by the program chair. Program committee members are not required to read appendices, and so a paper should be intelligible without them. Submitted papers must be in English and formatted to print on US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) paper. Submissions must contain an abstract and postal and electronic mailing addresses for at least one author. Instructions for on-line submission of papers will become available on the ISMM webpage at http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~erez/ismm06. Submissions will be read by the program committee and designated reviewers and judged on scientific merit, innovation, readability, and relevance. Papers previously published or already being reviewed by another conference are not eligible; if a closely related paper has been submitted to a journal, the authors must notify the program chair. The proceedings will be published by ACM. Authors should read the ACM Author Guidelines and related information. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
