Student Travel Support for the 3rd International Workshop on Software Analytics (SWAN 2017)

该提案要求为2017年9月在德国帕德博恩举行的第三届软件分析国际研讨会（SWAN 2017）的学生提供资金支持。该基金旨在鼓励美国学生入学，优先考虑代表性不足的群体、美国公民/居民以及那些没有经济支持而无法入学的学生。软件分析领域作为软件工程中实证研究的基础，导致了对软件及其开发周围现象的科学理解。这个领域正在出现，并将通过增加参加这个开办讲习班系列而得到推动。该研讨会是介绍该领域工作的论坛，因此，它将有助于扩大研究并加强美国在该领域的参与。

The proposal requests funds to support students at the 3rd International Workshop on Software Analytics (SWAN 2017), to take place in September 2017 in Paderborn, Germany. The funds are to encourage US-based students to attend, with priority given to underrepresented groups, US citizens/residents, and those otherwise unable to attend without financial support. The area of software analytics as the basis for empirical research in software engineering leads to a scientific understanding of phenomena surrounding software and its development. The area is emerging and will be boosted by increasing participation in this start-up workshop series. The workshop is a forum for presentation of work in this field, and as such, it will help expand research and strengthen US participation in the field.
