Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop at SPLASH (October 27, 2015)

SPLASH的编程语言指导研讨会（PLMW）将于2015年10月27日举行，作为ACM SIGPLAN系统、编程、语言和应用会议（SPLASH）的一部分，该会议将在美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。这笔赠款将支持大约15名学生参加PLMW活动和SPLASH会议。虽然还有其他资金（通过ACM SIGPLAN PAC）用于在SPLASH上发表论文的学生，但本提案专门针对本科生和硕士生，目的是增加这类学生在编程语言研究中的数量。遴选过程进一步确保了申请者的多样性，关注代表性不足的群体，并优先考虑美国公民和永久居民。更广泛的意义和重要性涉及到需要扩大参与，为学生提供机会接受编程语言社区主要成员的指导，并在这个重要的研究领域培养下一代研究人员和知识渊博的实践者。

Title: Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop at SPLASH 2015 (PLMW@SPLASH)The Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) at SPLASH will take place on October 27 2015, as part of the ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications (SPLASH), held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. This grant will support approximately 15 students to attend the PLMW event plus the SPLASH conference. While there is other funding available (through ACM SIGPLAN PAC) for students who are presenting papers at SPLASH, this proposal is intended specifically to target undergraduate and Masters students, with a view to increasing the numbers of such students in programming languages research. The selection process further ensures a diverse pool of applicants, paying attention to underrepresented groups, and prioritizing US citizens and permanent residents. The broader significance and importance of the grant relate to the need to broaden participation, provide opportunities for students to receive mentoring from leading members of the programming languages community, and build the next generation of researchers and knowledgeable practitioners in this important research arena.
