SWH Stories - CMM landing page

[moranegg]

For the landing page, my proposal is the following: @CarloQMontangero @scatenag @emulatingkat

CMM (1994-1997) The Customizable Memory Management (CMM) is a memory management facility supporting complex memory-intensive applications in C++. The CMM can manage several heaps, each one implementing a different storage discipline. It offers some predefined storage discipline (e.g. copying garbage collection and mark&sweep heap) allowing users to define their own heap classes for the specific storage requirements of their algorithms. The CMM has been exploited in the implementation of the Buchberger (add link?) algorithm in the context of the European research project PoSSo (Polynomial System Solving) active from 1992 to 1995, and in 1994 was used by Sun Microsystems in the development of the language the Oak programming language, later known as Java.

This description was taken from: Laura Bussi, Roberto Di Cosmo, Carlo Montangero, Guido Scatena. Preserving landmark legacy software with the Software Heritage Acquisition Process. iPres2021 - 17th International Conference on Digital Preservation, Oct 2021, Beijing, China. ⟨hal-03375572⟩

Here we also need to find a adapted image. Maybe the garbage truck?

[scatenag]

The garbage truck for me is ugly. Maybe we can stress Attardi to give us an image...

I would shorten the text:

CMM (1994-1997) The Customizable Memory Management (CMM) is a memory management facility (aka garbage collector) supporting complex memory-intensive applications in C++. The CMM can manage several heaps, each one implementing a different storage discipline.

The CMM has been developed to support the implementation of the Buchberger algorithm in the context of the European research project PoSSo (Polynomial System Solving) active from 1992 to 1995.

In 1994 it was used by Sun Microsystems in the development of the Oak programming language, later known as Java.

Unless we have a clickable document to show, I would not put a link for Buchberger algorithm. Anyway, a search for Buchberger's algorithm leads to wikepedia here.

As to the picture, besides the garbage truck (I added the fact that CMM is a garbage collector, in the description, just in case) I only found this picture related to Buchberger's algorithm. However, it seems protected by copyright.

So, in the end, I would keep the truck. Besides, Beppe doesn't seem easy to stress ;)

[CarloQMontangero]

Here is the link to the PoSSo project - very slow site, btw.

I just found this slide-show: https://slidetodoc.com/iterators-and-generators-giuseppe-attardi-dipartimento-di-informatica-2/

Where maybe this image can be used? https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/dc65299223bccbac673a8a270108f6ed/image-11.jpg

Not sure about copyright here...

Wonderful ! :star_struck: (sure better than the truck!)

see https://github.com/Unipisa/CMM-Workbench/blob/master/additional-materials/SWH-storiesWorkplace/cover_page/cmm-slide-cropped.jpg

Not sure about copyright here...

:face_with_head_bandage:

[CarloQMontangero]

I have uploaded another version of the picture. It seems simpler to me. It can be adjusted....

No copyright problems, I made it!

[CarloQMontangero]

To be professional: here ;)

[moranegg]

Thank you @scatenag and @CarloQMontangero for this proposal.

I can't seem to find the image under: https://github.com/Unipisa/CMM-Workbench/issues/additional-materials/SWH-storiesWorkplace/cover_page/CMMlandingImage.jpg which is the link used in the comment under "here".

[moranegg]

Looks like this one: https://github.com/Unipisa/CMM-Workbench/blob/master/additional-materials/SWH-storiesWorkplace/cover_page/CMMlandingImage.jpg

[CarloQMontangero]

Yes, it’s it. Sorry for the wrong link :( Carlo.

@emulatingkat I uploaded and linked the cover. I think that everything is ok, but please check it.

@all I close the issue, for the thrill of doing it ;)
