NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) at ACM SIGPLAN SPLASH Conference

ACM SIGPLAN系统、编程、语言和应用会议：面向人类的软件（SPLASH）是一个会议，汇集了编程语言和软件工程交叉领域的研究人员和实践者。SPLASH的前身是OOPSLA，成立于1986年，有着悠久的历史。飞溅2017将于2017年10月22日至27日在加拿大温哥华举行。今年，会议将为本科生和研究生组织一个指导研讨会。这项奖助金支持旅费和出席研讨会，也支持出席主要会议。该项目将吸引更多的本科生和初级研究生参与该领域，提供有关研究生学习的实用建议，给出该领域发展方向的观点，并帮助学生驾驭SPLASH会议，从中获得尽可能多的东西。总体目标是为训练有素的研究人员、具有编程语言和软件工程专业知识的学者创造所需的管道。

The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) is a conference that brings together researchers and practitioners in the intersection of programming languages and software engineering. SPLASH, formerly known an OOPSLA, has had a long history beginning in 1986. SPLASH 2017 will be held in Vancouver, Canada from October 22 -27, 2017. This year, the conference is organizing a mentoring workshop for undergraduate and graduate students. This grant supports travel and attendance at the workshop, also enabling attendance at the main conference.The project will attract a more diverse set of undergraduates and junior graduate students to participate in the field, offer practical advice about graduate study, give a perspective on where the field is going, and help students navigate the SPLASH conference to gain as much from it as possible. The overall goal is to create the needed pipeline of trained researchers, academics with expertise in programming languages and software engineering.
