Workshop on Memory Management and Managed Runtimes (MMMR)

* OVERVIEW
Memory management remains an important research area, given the
increased adoption of managed runtime environments, and the
challenges of multi-core and many-core platforms.  This one-day
workshop aims to bring together UK academics and industry, to
create new links and enhance existing collaboration within the
framework of the UK Memory Management Network.

* FOCUS
Includes, but 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 multi-core
