I'm just finishing my thesis on 'Math. Modelling and Hardware Support of
Garbage Collection' and I'd like to include a list of CURRENT RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES that were not previously published. The areas of interest are:

  - hardware support of garbage collection, especially for multiprocessor  
    systems (shared memory), 'self-organized heap memories' etc.

  - research on new algorithm ideas or the suitability of old ideas in new
    environments such as message passing systems, shared memory
    multiprocessors etc.

I think I have got (almost) all papers published so far (250+, plus patents),
but I also heard some rumors about research activities that I couldn't check
upon. Therefore this request to the net.

If you send me a reference and description, please also state whether you
agree to have this information included in a summary posted to the net
(comp.arch) or not. This might be a way to find out about and get in touch
with other people in this rather narrow field.

Thanks for any responses.
