Memory Management

This is the first book entirely dedicated to the problem of
memory               management in programming language implementation.
Its originality stems      from the diversity of languages and
approaches presented: functional            programming, logic
programming, object oriented programming, and parallel   and
sequential programming.
The book contains 29 selected and refereed   papers including
3 survey papers, 4 on distributed systems, 4 on                  parallelism,
4 on functional languages, 3 on logic programming                     languages,
3 on object oriented languages, 3 on incremental                        garbage
collection, 2 on improving locality, 2 on massively                        parallel
architectures, and an invited paper on the thermodynamics               of
garbage collection.
The book provides a snapshot of the latest         research in the
domain of memory management for high-level                           programming
language implementations.
