Oregon Programming Languages Summer School 2019: Foundations of Probabilistic Programming and Security

该奖项为2019年俄勒冈州编程语言暑期学校（OPLSS）的学生提供旅行和生活费用。这个暑期学校为学生提供了一个重要而有价值的教育机会，让他们学习与编程语言和验证相关的基础主题。今年学校的主题与概率编程和安全性的基础有关。对这些主题的探索是极其重要的：概率程序现在广泛应用于计算科学的不同领域，包括机器学习和统计数据分析，而保证软件安全性的工具是构建可靠和健壮的应用程序的基础。暑期学校的意义和重要性包括在基础研究领域建立国际社区和合作，以及通过接触前沿研究和研究人员并与之互动，加强对美国学生（包括代表性不足的少数民族）的教育。通过支持美国学生，该学院将在产业界和学术界培养下一代编程语言和安全研究人员和从业人员。大约20名学生将获得该奖项的支持。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。

This award provides student travel and subsistence for the 2019 Oregon Programming Languages Summer School (OPLSS). This summer school provides an important and valuable educational opportunity for students to study foundational topics related to programming languages and verification. The topics of this year's school are related to the foundations of probabilistic programming and security. The exploration of these topics is of extreme importance: probabilistic programs are now widely used in different areas of computing science including machine learning and statistical data analysis, while tools that guarantee the security of software are fundamental for building applications that are reliable and robust. The significance and importance of the summer school include building international community and cooperation in foundational research areas, and enhancing education of US students, including underrepresented minorities, by exposure to and interaction with leading-edge research and researchers. By supporting US-based students, the school will thus train the next generation of programming languages and security researchers and practitioners in both industry and academia. Around 20 students will be supported as part of this award.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.
