Verification Mentoring Workshop IV

该补助金将使学生能够参加验证指导研讨会（VMW 2018），该研讨会将与2018年7月13日至17日在牛津（英国）举行的计算机辅助验证（CAV）国际会议共同举办。CAV是计算机科学领域最重要的会议之一，致力于推进硬件和软件系统的计算机辅助形式分析方法的理论和实践。验证指导研讨会的目的是为早期研究生提供指导和职业建议，以吸引他们在计算机辅助验证领域从事研究工作。受资助的学生将有机会参与两个会议所促进的关键技术，专业和社会交流，从中受益匪浅。计算机辅助验证涵盖了广泛的应用，从确保计算机系统的正确性和安全性，到提高设计和开发生产力。受资助的学生将参加CAV，这是一个顶级会议，他们将在那里了解当前的研究问题，并与该领域的领导者互动，和VMW研讨会，将侧重于指导和职业建议，具体到早期阶段的研究生谁的目标是追求在计算机领域的研究生涯-该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过利用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响进行评估来支持的审查标准。

This grant will enable students to attend the Verification Mentoring Workshop (VMW 2018) which will be co-located with the International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV), to be held in Oxford (UK), July 13-17, 2018. CAV is one of the premier conferences in computer science, dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems. The purpose of Verification Mentoring Workshop is to provide mentoring and career advice to early-stage graduate students, to attract them to pursue research careers in the area of computer-aided verification. Funded students will benefit greatly from the opportunity to engage in the critical technical, professional, and social exchanges that both conferences foster.Computer-aided verification covers a broad range of applications, from ensuring the correctness and safety of computer systems, to improving design and development productivity. The funded students will attend CAV, a top conference where they will learn about current research problems and interact with leaders in the field, and the VMW workshop which will focus on mentoring and career advice specific to early-stage graduate students who aim to pursue research careers in the area of computer-aided verification.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
