Pan-American Advanced Study Institute on Software Quality, San Jose, Costa Rica, July 2013

这项由美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部联合支持的泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖将于2013年7月在哥斯达黎加圣何塞的哥斯达黎加大学举行。PASI由来自密歇根理工大学的Charles R. Wallace博士和Linda M. Ott博士组织，将把软件工程研究人员、工业代表、学生和软件质量领域的实践者聚集在一起。初级研究人员将在个人互动环境中接触到最先进的研究成果，这有助于建立长期的关系。在PASI上形成的联系可能会导致一个致力于协作以提高整个美洲软件质量的专业人士社区。本PASI将向学生介绍软件质量中的许多重要技术。除了在教师、博士后和高级博士生之间发展长期协同关系的好处之外，PASI还旨在帮助启动相关项目和机构之间的学生交流。它将有助于在几个方面取得进步：研究、教学和工业实践。来自该研究所的信息将在密歇根理工大学的一个网站上提供，该网站将展示PASI的活动结果，并将包括会员选项，允许订阅者找到与他们有共同兴趣的人，并通过wiki相互交流。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place on July 2013 at the University of Costa Rica in San José, Costa Rica. Organized by Dr. Charles R. Wallace and Dr. Linda M. Ott, both from Michigan Technological University, the PASI will bring together software engineering researchers, industrial representatives, students and practitioners in the area of software quality. Junior researchers will be exposed to state-of-the-art research in a personal, interactive setting that is conducive to building long-term relationships. Connections formed at the PASI may lead to a community of professionals committed to collaboration to enhance software quality throughout the Americas.This PASI will introduce students to many important techniques in software quality. In addition to the benefits from developing long term synergistic relationships among faculty members, post docs, and senior PhD students, the PASI is intended to help initiate student exchanges between the programs and institutions involved. It will help make advances in several dimensions: research, teaching, and industrial practice. Information from the institute will be available on a website hosted at Michigan Tech, which will showcase the activities that result from the PASI and will include a membership option to allow subscribers to locate others with common interests and communicate with one another through a wiki.
