Abstract

The ACM SIGPLAN International Symposium on Memory Management (ISMM) aimed to provide a platform for research in the management of dynamically allocated memory. ISMM'08 appointed a strong Program Committee (PC), used double-blind reviewing, introduced a Review Committee (RC) to the process, provided authors an opportunity for rebuttal, and adopted an 'acceptance positive' approach. Papers on garbage collection and explicit de-allocation, automatic management of non-memory resources, studies of memory locality, heap compression, object demographics, leak detection, and models for bounding memory resources were presented during the event. David Bacon from IBM T.J. Watson Research Center discussed the road from research idea to product using the Metronome hard real-time garbage collector as an example. The event also organized award function for the craziest idea and the idea most worthy of implementation.
