ISMM @ PLDI 2024

ACM International Symposium on Memory Management (ISMM) 2024 – 
co-located with PLDI 2024

Important changes in ISMM 2024. We are excited to announce an expanded scope of ISMM this year to encourage submissions and participation from related fields such as computer architecture and systems in addition to the PL community!

Call for Papers

The 2024 ACM SIGPLAN International Symposium on Memory Management (ISMM 2024) is soliciting full-length submissions on all memory management related topics in both software and hardware, as well as papers presenting confirmations or refutations of important prior results. In addition to regular papers, traditionally submitted to ISMM, we also invite submissions of the following kinds:

• Surveys and comparative analyses that shed new light on previously published techniques.
• Practitioner reports, describing experience with memory management in production. Such papers are not expected to provide novel research contributions, but they should not have been previously published.
• Intellectual abstracts, where researchers share designs, algorithms, or theory that may be interesting to the memory management community, but not yet evaluated.

Please indicate whether the paper is a regular paper, a survey, a practitioner report, or an intellectual abstract, by using a subtitle. For example, for a regular paper, include on of the following on the line below the title line: subtitle{This submission is a regular paper}, subtitle{This submission is a survey}, subtitle{This submission is a practitioner report}, or subtitle{This submission is an intellectual abstract}.

Important Dates

Paper Submission: March 22, 2024
Author Response Period: April 29-30, 2024
Author Notification: May 10, 2024
Camera-Ready Deadline: May 20, 2024

Areas of Interest

Areas of interest include but are not limited to (with this year’s changes highlighted) :

• Caches
• Cache coherence and memory consistency
• Processing in memory and near memory processing
• Memory device architectures (SRAM, DRAM, flash, NVM)
• Security and privacy of memory systems
• Reliability of memory systems
• Garbage collection algorithms and implementations
• Memory allocation and de-allocation
• Memory system design and analysis
• Hardware support for memory management
• Memory management for large-scale data-intensive systems
• Memory management at datacenter and cloud scales
• Formal analysis and verification of memory management algorithms
• Compiler analyses to aid memory management
• Tools to analyze memory usage of programs
• Empirical analysis of memory intensive programs
• Formal analysis and verification of memory intensive programs
• Memory management for machine learning systems
• Programming and management of emerging or persistent memories

The symposium welcomes industry practitioners presenting their recent practice and findings in memory management related to real-world deployments.
