The interactions between memory management and virtual machines are a parti=
cular challenge on modern mobile devices. Both language and runtime-system =
support need to be integrated with highly optimised memory management polic=
ies in order to provide a high-level programming model. This one-day worksh=
op aims to bring together UK academia and industry with the aim of establis=
hing 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 ind=
ustry with a unique opportunity to meet, to discuss challenges, state-of-th=
e-art techniques and solutions, and to exchange ideas and experiences. This=
 workshop will take place at Google, London on Friday 6th December 2013. We=
 call for contributions on memory management or virtual machines including =
the topics below. Talks relating to mobile devices are particularly welcome.

 =95 virtual machine implementation
 =95 garbage collection algorithms
 =95 performance tuning techniques
 =95 empirical studies of dynamic behaviour
 =95 abstractions and models for memory management
 =95 runtime or language support
 =95 transactional memory

Note that since this is an informal workshop, an MMNet presentation will no=
t prevent publication elsewhere. Event registration is free, thanks to gene=
rous sponsorship from Google. We also thank theEPSRC for their support for =
the UK Memory Management Network.

Registration: Before November 25th, 2013. Please note that space is limited=
, so places will be given on a first come basis. See the website for detail=
