This award provides student travel and subsistence for the 2014 Oregon Programming Languages Summer School (OPLSS). This summer school provides an important and valuable educational opportunity for students to study theoretical topics related to programming languages and methods/verification. The focus of this year's school is "Types, Logics, Semantics, and Verification". The students who attend are from a large number of countries. The NSF support ensures participation of US students while paying attention to underrepresented groups. The broader impacts include building international community and cooperation in foundational research areas, and enhancing education of students with exposure to and interaction with leading-edge research and researchers.
The Oregon Programming Languages Summer School (OPLSS) is a long-running and successful venue for disseminating cutting-edge ideas in the theory and practice of programming languages, formal verification, security, and related technologies --- topics of critical importance in the intellectual mainstream of CS research.The school's main goal is the training of PhD students. In particular, those who come from institutions lacking strong graduate curricula in the topics addressed by the school.The number of participants is growing each year. In 2014 we had 105 students coming from10 countries. We were also able to attract people from the industry, and we had a substantial number of female students.
