International Symposium on Memory Management 2011 San Jose, CA, June 4-5, 2011 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/ismm11 CALL FOR PAPERS 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. ORGANIZERS General Chair: Hans-J. Boehm, HP Labs Program Chair: David F.

The ISMM submission must be withdrawn, i.e. no full paper should be submitted, if the paper is accepted by PLDI.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. SUBMISSIONS 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 contact author. All papers must be submitted on-line, preferably in Portable Document Format (PDF), although the submission system will also accept PostScript. Submissions should be no more than 10 pages (including bibliography, excluding well marked appendices) in standard ACM SIGPLAN conference format: two columns, nine-point font (or larger) on a ten-point baseline (or larger), with columns 20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall, and a column gutter of 2pc (0.33in). Detailed formatting guidelines along with formatting templates or style files for LaTeX are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm. 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. All accepted papers will appear in the published proceedings. 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. Rebuttal The rebuttal process will occur in early March 2011, and will give the authors opportunity to respond succinctly to factual errors in reviews, before the program committee meets to make its decisions. The committee may, but need not, respond to rebuttals or revise reviews at or after the committee meeting. Proceedings The proceedings will be published by the 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. For additional information please feel free to contact the Program Chair.
