NSF Student Travel Grant for IEEE/ACM 2019 International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE)

IEEE/ACM 2019年自动化软件工程国际会议（ASE）是一个领先的会议，在学术和工业界之间报告和讨论软件工程研究结果。该会议将于2019年11月11日至15日在加州圣地亚哥举行。该提案要求资金用于支持学生参加会议和活动（如博士联盟和指导活动）的旅费和费用。这笔赠款将使会议使技术信息交流和研究对话/合作成为可能，并使这些互动使该领域的进步成为可能。会议为与会者提供教育、培训和指导。本次会议的国际性质有助于在美国培养具有全球意识的研究和教育工作者队伍，并有助于建立软件工程领域的研究人员社区。博士研讨会是为研究生在他们的学位完成的各个阶段。目标是让学生在一个支持性的环境中交流思想，从专家那里获得建设性的反馈，学习如何在自动化软件工程中进行高质量的研究，并与其他学生和研究人员在他们的研究领域见面。这笔资助将用于支持来自美国院校的学生参加博士研讨会和主要的ASE会议。获奖者将根据博士研讨会的接受情况优先考虑，优先考虑代表性不足群体的学生和美国公民。部分资金将用于从会议地点附近的学校招收本科生，这些学校有大量来自不同和代表性不足的群体的学生。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The IEEE/ACM 2019 International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE) is a leading conference where results of Software Engineering research are reported and discussed among academic and industrial communities. The conference takes in San Diego, California in November 11 through 15, 2019. This proposal requests funds to support student travel and expenses to attend the conference and events such as the Doctoral Consortium and mentoring events. The grant will enable the technical exchange of information and research conversations/collaborations made possible by the conference, as well as advances in the field made possible by these interactions. The conference provides education, training and mentoring received by the participants. The international nature of this conference helps develop a globally-aware workforce of research and educators within the US and helps build the community of researchers in the field of Software Engineering. The Doctoral Symposium is for graduate students at all stages of their degree completion. The goal is for students to exchange ideas, receive constructive feedback from experts in a supportive environment, learn how to perform quality research on automated software engineering, and to meet other students and researchers in their research fields. This grant will be used to support student travel from US institutions to attend both the Doctoral Symposium and the main ASE conference. Awardees will be prioritized based on acceptance into the Doctoral Symposium, with preference given to students in underrepresented groups and US citizens. A portion of the funds will be used to recruit undergraduate students from schools near theconference venue that have a large population of students from diverse and underrepresented groups.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.
