Held during ESWeek 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan

Memory technologies are evolving rapidly, resulting in many new storage opportunities that demand novel memory architectures, organizations and management strategies to effectively leverage their unique features. Newer memories, such as Phase Changing Memory (PCM), STT-RAM, Memristor, embedded-RAM, etc., have their unique advantages
as well as dis-advantages. Often they exhibit read and write asymmetry, where a write operation may incur a large latency and consume significantly more energy than a read operation. The wear-out characteristics, density, ambient operational conditions and other
parameters may require novel memory organizations and softwarehardware management support to leverage the benefits of these new memory technologies. Thus there is an urgent need to model, analyze,design and evaluate novel memory management techniques at varying
abstraction levels for these novel memories. MeAOW 2011 aims to bring together researchers for discussion and advancement of novel memory architectures, organizations and management.
