NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH)

ACM SIGPLAN系统、编程、语言和应用会议：面向人类的软件（SPLASH）涵盖了软件构建和交付的所有方面，使其成为编程语言和软件工程交叉领域的首要会议之一。这笔补助金提供旅费，以支持学生出席会议。支持将集中在参加在SPLASH计划的几个指导活动的学生身上。该奖学金将用于美国公民/居民和其他美国学生，并将优先考虑代表性不足的群体、首次参加的学生和需要经济支持的学生。会议所促成的信息技术交流和研究对话/合作，以及这些互动所促成的领域进步，都具有智力上的价值。提案还为参与者提供教育、培训和指导。本次会议的国际性质有助于在美国培养具有全球意识的研究和教育工作者队伍，并有助于建立软件工程领域的研究人员社区。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。

The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery to make it one of the premier conferences at the intersection of programming languages and software engineering. This grant provides travel funds to support student attendance to the conference. The support will focus on students who are attending the several mentoring events that have been planned at SPLASH. The grant will be used for US citizens/residents and other US-based students and will give priority to underrepresented groups, first-time attendees, and those in need of economic support. There is intellectual merit in the technical exchange of information and research conversations/collaborations made possible by the conference, as well as advances in the field made possible by these interactions. The proposal also provides education, training and mentoring received by the participants. The international nature of this conference helps develop a globally-aware workforce of research and educators within the US and helps build the community of researchers in the field of Software Engineering.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.
