Co-located Events (sorted by date) MSP 2002 Berlin , Germany , June 16, 2002 http://research.microsoft.com/~trishulc/msp2002/ The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of improving the memory system performance of general-purpose programs. This includes novel techniques for profiling memory system behavior, new analyses (both static and dynamic) for identifying and understanding memory-related performance problems, and finally optimizations for improving memory system performance. Software, hardware as well as hybrid approaches are encouraged. In addition, we solicit papers from application programmers that describe problems and experience with memory performance related issues in specific application domains. The call for papers for MSP 2002 can be found here .     PLDI 2002 Berlin , Germany , June 17 - 19, 2002 http: //sunshine.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~knoop/PLDI2002/pldi2002_main.html PLDI is a forum in which researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners can exchange information on the latest practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of programming languages.

CD 2002 Berlin , Germany , June 20 - 21, 2002 http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/cd02 The purpose of the First IFIP /ACM International Working Conference on Component Deployment is to bring together experts on the roles and activities related to what we do with components after we have made them, and how we do it. Many of the current workshops concentrate on object or component development: we want to collect together the expertise on deployment which covers contracts, adaptation, customisation, patterns, configuration languages, configuration tools, middleware choice, assembly, packaging, distribution formats and case studies of success stories. Some of the topics are covered by specialised workshops, but CD 2002 will enable interaction between these groups, leading to a better understanding of how deployment takes place in the wider context. Deployment is carried out in industry, and software abounds to support it, but the term itself has not been much used in research, and there is a lack of compiled principles underpinning deployment. It could well be seen as a goal of this conference to establish component deployment firmly as a research area within component based software engineering.

ISMM 2002 Berlin , Germany , June 20 - 21, 2002 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/ismm The International Symposia on Memory Management are a forum for research in memory management, in all its diversity. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: garbage collection, dynamic storage allocation, storage management implementation techniques and their interactions with languages and operating systems, and empirical studies of programs' memory allocation and referencing behavior. ISMM 2002 continues the tradition of the successful conference series established with the International Workshops on Memory Management held in 1992 (St. Malo, France) and 1995 (Kinross, Scotland), the inaugural ISMM in 1998 (Vancouver, Canada), and the most recent ISMM in 2000 (Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA). Proceedings of the IWMM conferences are available from Springer-Verlag (Lecture Notes in Computer Science no. 637 and no. 986), while the ISMM'98 and ISMM'00 proceedings were published by the ACM.
