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.

Registration
------------

Attendance  of MMnet'13  is free  thanks to  sponsorship of  MMnet by  EPSRC and
SICSA. 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.
