=============================================================================


ISMM is the premier forum for research in management of dynamically allocated
memory. ISMM 2008 is colocated with PLDI'08, Programming Language Design and
Implementation in Tucson, Arizona, USA.


This year's ISMM features:
    - Keynote speaker, David Bacon (IBM TJ Watson Research Center)
    - 16 presentations
    - Student Lightning talks
    - Wild and Crazy Ideas


Student Lightning Talks
    ISMM will feature a workshop for PhD students to give brief presentations
    (8 minutes + 2 minutes for questions) of their work in progress. This will
    provide an opportunity for students to get supportive feedback, to gain
    experience presenting to a major audience and exposure for themselves
    and their work, and will encourage interaction with fellow students and
    the community. A prize will be awarded for the best presentation. Students
    wishing to make a presentation should mail a brief abstract to Witawas
    Srisa-an <witty@cse.unl.edu> by:
     Abstract deadline: 23 May 2008


Wild and Crazy Ideas
    Following the success of this session in previous meetings, we will again
    hold this fun and informal forum for discussion of interesting ideas in the
    area of memory management. Presenters are given just 4 minutes in which to
    present their idea and 1 minute to take questions. Prizes are awarded for
    the idea most crazy and the one most worthy of implementation! Please
    contribute your wild and crazy ideas. Contact the WACI chair, Tony Hosking
    <hosking@cs.purdue.edu>, before the event.
