ISMM is the premier forum for research in management of dynamically  
allocated  
memory. ISMM 2009 is colocated with PLDI’09, Programming Language  
Design and  
Implementation in Dublin, Ireland.

This year’s ISMM features:

- Keynote speaker
- 15 presentations
- Wild and Crazy Ideas Session  
Complete details will be posted on the ISMM 09 web site when  
available.

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  
[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), before the event.
