REU SITE: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Software Systems and Analysis

该项目在德克萨斯州立大学建立了一个专注于软件系统和分析的REU站点。这个REU网站为一群本科生提供了参与创新软件系统和分析技术的研究和开发的机会，这将带来巨大的公共利益。该网站强调多元化学生群体的参与，特别是女性，少数民族，第一代和非传统学生。该项目包括工作坊、创业论坛、学生演讲和海报、实地考察和其他专业发展机会。目标是增加计算机科学专业学生的保留率，向他们灌输创新精神，改善他们的职业前景，让他们参与软件系统和分析的前沿研究，并激励他们进入研究生计算机科学课程。软件几乎影响着我们生活的方方面面，是解决许多科学和工程挑战的关键。随着软件的日益普及，与软件相关的问题也变得越来越普遍。该项目将研究软件系统的新趋势，包括移动软件系统、绿色计算、物联网、大数据和并行系统，同时分析各种软件质量，如可靠性、性能、可用性、安全性、可维护性和能源效率。

This project sets up an REU site focused on software systems and analysis at Texas State University. This REU site provides opportunities for a cohort of undergraduate students to participate in research and development of innovative software systems and analysis technologies that would have enormous public benefits. The site emphasizes the participation of a diverse group of students, in particular, women, minorities, first generation, and non-traditional students. The project includes workshops, entrepreneurship forum, student presentations and posters, field trips and other professional development opportunities. The goal is to increase retention of computer science students, instill in them the spirit of innovation, improve their career perspectives, engage them to participate in cutting-edge research in software systems and analysis, and motivate them to enter graduate computer science programs.Software affects nearly every aspect of our lives and holds the key to many scientific and engineering challenges. As software is increasingly pervasive nowadays, software-related problems have become much more prevalent. This project will study new trends in software systems including mobile software systems, green computing, internet of things, big data and parallel systems while analyzing various software qualities such as reliability, performance, usability, safety, maintainability, and energy efficiency.
