Abstract

A Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) is being organized as part of the 39th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI), the premier conference in the areas of programming languages and compilers. The conference will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This award specifically supports students from underrepresented groups and gives priority to US citizens and permanent residents to attend the mentoring workshop in addition to the PLDI conference. The impact of the award relates to broadening participation in computing, providing opportunities for students to receive mentoring from leading researchers, and building the next generation of researchers and knowledgeable practitioners in programming languages and compilers. 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.
