ISSTA 2019
Mon 15 - Fri 19 July 2019 Beijing, China

Ada workshop is named after the first computer programmer—Ada Lovelace. The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for female and minority students at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels who have interests in software testing and analysis research.

Ada Workshop is co-located with ISSTA 2019. The event will take place on Monday, July 15, 2019: The day before the main conference. The workshop program will include keynote talks, invited talks, and interactive panel sessions organized by leading researchers in academia and industry, covering topics about software testing and analysis research and general career development advice. The goal of the workshop program is to strengthen the pipeline of women and underrepresented minority students in the area, providing them with advice and networking opportunities that they might not otherwise receive.

For any questions or additional information about the diversity workshop, please email tyu@cs.uky.edu.
