The objective of this proposal is to facilitate outreach between the softwareengineering and embedded systems research communities by providing travel support foroutstanding students of one community to participate at the flagship conference of theother. The proposed travel stipend intends to improve the mutual awareness of the ACMsoftware engineering (SIGSOFT) and embedded systems (SIGBED) researchcommunities to the opportunities and challenges emerging in their research areas.Supporting the crossover of ideas between these communities has been an importantgoal. The outstanding scientist and recognized National leader in computer sciencewho has been working for this goal until his untimely death in 2004 has been Dr FrankAnger, Deputy Director of the Division of Computing and Communication Foundationsin the Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at theNational Science Foundation (NSF). The basic idea for this travel support has beenconceived in the spirit of his work and his legacy.
