This volume addresses the complex challenge of memory management across a diverse range of programming paradigms. The book compiles 29 refereed papers from the International Workshop IWMM '92, presenting the latest research in the field. It covers functional, logic, object-oriented, and parallel programming, offering insights into distributed systems, incremental garbage collection, and architectural considerations. The collection provides a comprehensive snapshot of the state-of-the-art in memory management for high-level programming language implementations.

This collection of papers from the 1992 IWMM workshop offers a detailed look at memory management techniques across various programming paradigms. The diversity of languages and approaches, including functional, logic, and object-oriented programming, highlights the breadth of research at the time. The inclusion of survey papers and specific topics like garbage collection and parallelism provides a comprehensive overview for researchers and practitioners in the field. The book serves as a valuable historical document capturing the state-of-the-art in memory management for high-level programming languages.
