Collaborative Research: Verification Mentoring Workshop at Computer Aided Verification 2019-2021

这笔赠款将使学生能够参加验证指导研讨会(VMW 2019)，该研讨会将与2019年7月23-26日在纽约市举行的计算机辅助验证(CAV)国际会议在同一地点举行。CAV是计算机科学的主要会议之一，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。核查指导讲习班的目的是为处于早期阶段的研究生提供指导和职业建议，吸引他们从事计算机辅助核查领域的研究事业。受资助的学生将从这两次会议促进的关键技术、专业和社会交流中受益匪浅。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率。获得资助的学生将参加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，以及VMW研讨会，该研讨会将专注于针对旨在追求计算机辅助验证领域研究事业的早期研究生的指导和职业建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant will enable students to attend the Verification Mentoring Workshop (VMW 2019) which will be co-located with the International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV), to be held in New York City, July 23-26, 2019. 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.
