         GC '91:  The Second Workshop on Garbage Collection
                    in Object-oriented Systems

                 Phoenix, Arizona, October 6, 1991
                 (in conjunction with OOPSLA '91)

Organizers:  Paul R. Wilson, University of Texas at Austin
             Barry Hayes, Stanford University and Xerox PARC

This workshop will focus on garbage collection, its implementation, and
its implications for language and hardware design.  It is intended for
researchers and software developers with actual experience in garbage
collection.  Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Garbage collection vs. explicit storage management

* Language- and/or paradigm-dependence

* Algorithms, such as reference counting, mark-sweep, copying, and hybrids.

* Efficiency and locality

* Performance tuning, profiling, adaptiveness, and opportunism

* Benchmarking and issues of scale

* Language features such as separately-managed areas, weak pointers, and finalization

* Architectural support for objects and garbage collection

* Compiler support for garbage collection and optimizations

* Garbage collecting parallel, distributed, and persistent systems

* Portability, toolkits, and multilanguage systems

Roughly thirty participants will be selected on the basis of short (2-5 page)
position papers.  (Only one person may attend on the basis of a single
paper.)  Some of the papers will be chosen for presentation at the workshop.
Panel discussions will cover a few important issues;  suggestions for panel
topics and participants are invited.

The deadline for receipt of position papers is August 1, 1991.  Authors
will be notified of acceptance or rejection by September 1, 1991. Send
hardcopy to Paul Wilson at the address below.  (If convenient, please
also send an email copies directly to bhayes@cs.stanford.edu and
wilson@cs.utexas.edu.)
