Here are a few others but I may have missed a few:

 * Parallel Generational-Copying Garbage Collection with a Block-Structured Heap (Simon Marlow, Tim Harris, Roshan P. James, Simon Peyton Jones) In ISMM '08: Proceedings of the 7th international symposium on Memory management, Tucson, Arizona, ACM, June 2008 
 * Concurrent Haskell, Simon Peyton Jones, Andrew Gordon, Sigbjorn Finne.
 * Composable Memory Transactions, Tim Harris, Simon Marlow, Simon Peyton-Jones, and Maurice Herlihy. In Proceedings of the tenth ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Principles and practice of parallel programming (PPoPP '05) 
 * Transactional Memory with Data Invariants, Tim Harris and Simon Peyton Jones. In TRANSACT '06
