ISMM is the premier forum for research in management of dynamically
allocated
memory. ISMM 2009 is colocated with PLDI'09, Programming Language Design
and
Implementation in Dublin, Ireland.

This year's ISMM features:
  - Keynote speaker
  - 15 presentations
  - Wild and Crazy Ideas Session
Complete details will be posted on the ISMM 09 web site when available.

Wild and Crazy Ideas
  Following the success of this session in previous meetings, we will again

  hold this fun and informal forum for discussion of interesting ideas in
the
  area of memory management. Presenters are given just 4 minutes in which
to
  present their idea and 1 minute to take questions.  Prizes are awarded
for
  the idea most crazy and the one most worthy of implementation! Please
  contribute your wild and crazy ideas. Contact the WACI chair, Tony
Hosking
  <[log in to unmask]>, before the event.
