2013 MMnet Workshop
MMnet'13: Language and Runtime Support for Concurrent Systems
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/events/mmnet13.html
Wednesday 8th May 2013, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
Call for participation
----------------------
The interaction between memory management and concurrency poses a particular
challenge in exploiting modern, increasingly parallel hardware. Both language
support and runtime-system support for concurrency needs to be integrated with
highly optimised memory management policies in order to provide a high level
programming model to the programmer. This one-day workshop aims to bring
together UK academia and industry with the aim of establishing new links and
enhancing existing collaboration within the framework of the UK Memory
Management Network.
The UK Memory Management Network provides researchers from academia and industry
with a unique opportunity to meet, to discuss challenges, state-of-the-art
techniques and solutions, and to exchange ideas and experiences. MMNet'13 will
take place at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, on Wednesday 8th May 2013.
Participation is welcomed from both academic and industrial sectors.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* virtual machine implementation
* garbage collection algorithms
* performance tuning techniques
* empirical studies of dynamic behaviour
* abstractions and models for memory management
* runtime support for concurrency
* language support for concurrency
* transactional memory
As with previous workshops, the day will include a mixture of presentations and
time for discussion of ongoing work and future research directions. Note that
since this is an informal workshop, an MMNet presentation will not prevent
publication elsewhere.

Registration
------------
Attendance of MMnet'13 is free thanks to sponsorship of MMnet by EPSRC. Lunch
and light refreshments will be provided. However, participants must make their
own travel and accommodation arrangements.
You can register for the workshop through the MMnet'13 web page.
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, and
indicate whether you want to offer a short (15 min) or normal (30 min) slot. We
will collect presentations from the workshop to form an informal online
proceedings. We do not consider these to be a formal (citable) publication so
that any work in progress presented here may be submitted later for formal
publication.
