2009 MM-NET Workshop on
       Analytical Techniques for Memory Management
                University of Manchester
                     12th June 2009

Call for 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, persistent and 
  distributed systems;
* explicit dynamic memory allocation/de-allocation
* empirical studies of allocation behaviour
* interactions with languages and operating systems

The UK MM-NET (Memory Management Network) therefore proposes to
hold a 1-day workshop on analytical techniques for memory
management on Friday 12th June 2009 at the University of
Manchester.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to
* static analysis for prediction of programs' interaction with memory
* garbage collection supported by compile-time techniques
* theoretical models of memory management
* machine learning to tune memory management performance

Participation is welcomed from both academic and industrial sectors.

Registration is free, via the webpage at 

      http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~jsinger/mmnet09.html

Coffees and lunch will be provided. Unfortunately we are unable
to subsidise transport or accommodation costs.

Workshop places and talk slots will be allocated on a first-come
first-served basis. If you would like to give a talk, please
indicate this when registering for the workshop.  All talks
should be 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for questions; we
explicitly aim to foster interaction and discussion at the
workshop.  Talk abstracts will be collected before the workshop.
We will collect slide presentations (PDF format) during the
workshop.  These will be archived at the workshop website.  If
there is sufficient interest, we may approach speakers later to
create an edited formal proceedings volume.
