Welcome

ISMM 2011 will be part of FCRC 11, the Federated Computing Research Conference in San Jose, California.

ISMM is a forum for research in memory management. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

• Memory allocation and deallocation
• Garbage collection algorithms and implementations
• Compiler analyses and tools to aid memory management
• Empirical analysis of heap intensive programs
• Formal analysis and verification of heap intensive programs
• Memory system design and analysis
• Verification of memory management algorithms
• Development and evaluation of open source implementations

ISMM solicits full-length submissions covering new work on these topics, as well as papers presenting confirmations or refutations of important prior results. Surveys and comparative analyses that shed new light on previously published techniques are also welcome.

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 (see the SIGPLAN republication policy).

Papers are submitted online using the following link (START):

Important dates

Note: It is acceptable to submit an initial abstract for a paper also submitted to PLDI. The ISMM submission must be withdrawn, i.e. no full paper should be submitted, if the paper is accepted by PLDI. PLDI reviewer comments should be addressed in the final ISMM submission.

Review committee

ISMM uses a separate Review Committee (RC) as part of the reviewing process. The RC complements the Program Committee (PC) by providing expert reviews. The same reviewing standards apply to the RC as for the PC. However, RC members review only a few papers each, and do not participate in the PC meeting. The use of the RC increases the breadth and depth of the reviewer pool.

This year's review committee is as follows:

• Dan Grossman, U. Washington
• Chandra Krintz, UCSB
• David Ungar, IBM Research
• Elvira Albert, Complutense U. Madrid
• Simon Marlow, MSR Cambridge
• Thomas Kalibera, U. Kent
• Ondrej Lhotak, U. Waterloo
• Tomas Petricek, U. Cambridge
• Pramod Joisha, HP Labs
• John Regehr, U Utah
• Fridtjof Siebert, Aicas
