Description
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.
