NSF Student Travel Grant for 2017 Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) at ACM SIGPLAN SPLASH Conference

ACM SIGPLAN系统、编程、语言和应用会议：人性化软件（SPLASH）是一个汇集编程语言和软件工程交叉领域研究人员和从业人员的会议。SPLASH，以前称为OOPSLA，从1986年开始有着悠久的历史。SPLASH 2017将于2017年10月22日至27日在加拿大温哥华举行。今年，会议将为本科生和研究生组织一个指导研讨会。该项目将吸引更多元化的本科生和大三研究生参与该领域，提供有关研究生学习的实用建议，对该领域的发展方向提出看法，并帮助学生浏览SPLASH会议，以尽可能从中获得更多。总体目标是创建所需的训练有素的研究人员、具有编程语言和软件工程专业知识的学者队伍。

The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) is a conference that brings together researchers and practitioners in the intersection of programming languages and software engineering. SPLASH, formerly known an OOPSLA, has had a long history beginning in 1986. SPLASH 2017 will be held in Vancouver, Canada from October 22 -27, 2017. This year, the conference is organizing a mentoring workshop for undergraduate and graduate students. This grant supports travel and attendance at the workshop, also enabling attendance at the main conference.The project will attract a more diverse set of undergraduates and junior graduate students to participate in the field, offer practical advice about graduate study, give a perspective on where the field is going, and help students navigate the SPLASH conference to gain as much from it as possible. The overall goal is to create the needed pipeline of trained researchers, academics with expertise in programming languages and software engineering.
