Travel support for the OSS 2009 Doctoral Consortium

该奖项支持美国博士生前往参加将于2009年6月3日举行的第五届开源系统国际会议（OSS 2009）。OSS 2009汇集了来自软件工程，信息系统，社会科学和信息科学领域的广泛研究人员。这次会议是研究软件工程正式实践的研究人员和研究开源软件运动非正式实践的研究人员之间的重要联系。OSS 2009博士联盟的重点是学生的智力内容？博士论文这些论文代表了复杂软件系统的研究和开发的最先进的研究。博士联盟将帮助在一个新兴的研究领域启动一个知识界。学生和教师预计将是一个多元化的群体在几个方面（国籍，科学学科，性别，机构隶属关系，代表性不足的少数民族地位），因此参与该联盟将扩大学生？知识和社会观点在他们的专业发展的关键阶段。

This award supports travel and attendance by US doctoral students to the Doctoral Consortium at the 5th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2009) to be held June 3, 2009. OSS 2009 brings together a wide range of researchers from the fields of software engineering, information systems, social science, and information science. This conference is a critical link between researchers who study the formal practices of software engineering and those who study the less formal practices of the Open Source Software movement. The focus of the OSS 2009 Doctoral Consortium is the intellectual content of the students? doctoral dissertations. These dissertations represent state-of-the-art research in the study and development of complex software systems. The Doctoral Consortium will help initiate an intellectual community in an emergent research area. Students and faculty are anticipated to be a diverse group on several dimensions (nationality, scientific discipline, gender, institutional affiliation, under-represented minority status), therefore participation in the consortium will broaden the students? intellectual and social perspectives at a critical stage in their professional development.
