NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming/International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ECOOP/ISSTA 2018)

该提案要求资金支持学生前往欧洲面向对象编程会议（ECOOP 2018）和ACM SIGSOFT软件测试与分析国际研讨会（ISSTA 2018），该研讨会将于2018年7月16日至23日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行。ECOOP是编程语言和软件工程研究的主要会议。今年，ECOOP将与另一个主要会议ISSTA（软件测试和分析领域的顶级会议）同时举行。联合活动是一个非常值得学生参加的活动。从NSF申请的资金将用于支持预计参加ECOOP/ISSTA 2018的大量学生。申请的资金将仅用于支持以下学生出席会议：(i)美国公民或美国永久居民和/或（ii）在美国认可的大学就读本科或研究生课程。这些资金支持通过技术讨论和演示来推进该领域，并建立一支从事编程语言和软件工程领域研究的劳动力队伍。

This proposal requests funds to support student travel to the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2018) and the ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2018), which will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, July 16-23, 2018. ECOOP is a major conference for programming language and software engineering research. This year, as it happens, ECOOP will be co-located with another major conference, ISSTA, which is the top conference in software testing and analysis. The combined event is a very worthwhile event for students to attend. The funds requested from NSF will help support the large number of students that are expected to attend ECOOP/ISSTA 2018. The requested funding would be used only to support the conference attendance of students who are (i) US citizens or US permanent residents and/or (ii) enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs at accredited US universities.The funds support advancing the field through technical discussions and presentations, and the building of a workforce that pursues careers in research for programming languages and software engineering areas.
