摘要

我第一次参加SOSP是在1989年,不久就完成了我的研究生学习。从那以后,我只做过一次特别行动计划;我认为SOSP是我的职业家园。然而,在大部分时间里,我一直是一个局外人,介于SOSP的系统研究社区和一个非常不同的本科教育社区之间。无论我是哪一组的,我都觉得我必须对另一组做很多解释。但我确实觉得,为了我二十年的本科教学,保持与SOSP的联系是我所做的最重要的事情之一。我曾经工作过的学校都专注于本科生——在我们的科学项目中,这是我们所有的——和教学。我也参与过一些教师很少的项目,所以我的教学任务涵盖了整个领域,而不仅仅是系统课程。最大的回报是有机会在我的学生身上投资,因为他们在这里的四年里有很多亲密的接触。缺点是很难在一个研究团体中保持活跃。我能给我的学生提供的最重要的东西之一就是观点。至关重要的是,我要保持一名计算机科学家的观点,而不是(仅仅)一名计算机科学教师。SOSP是我的生命线,两年一次的朝圣之旅,让我有机会再次沉浸在与研究前沿人士的几天对话中。这让人耳目一新,在我思考我们过于拥挤的课程中需要什么以及如何教学时,这是一个巨大的帮助。在我开始教学后的第一个SOSP上,有一个难忘的深夜,我和布鲁斯·纳尔逊(Bruce Nelson)和马克·韦瑟(Mark Weiser)进行了很多关于本科计算机科学的精彩对话,他们当时正准备给他们就读的学校提供建议。cs教育会议是有用的,但它们与SOSP不同。主要本科院校的范围很广,我选择在教学负担相当重而研究支持结构较轻的领域工作。我通常自费参加SOSP——这就是我觉得它的价值所在。因此,我很感谢2013年奖学金的财政支持,我认为,如果更多的CS本科专业的教师能够分享SOSP的经验,这对两个社区——系统和本科教育都将是一项有价值的服务。

SOSP Professional Travel Scholarship: Reflections by Recipient Cary Gray
I first attended SOSP in 1989, shortly before finishing my graduate study. I’ve been at all but one SOSP since then; I think of SOSP as my professional home. For most of that time, however, I’ve been an outlier, straddling the gap between the systems research community at SOSP and a very different community involved in undergraduate education. Whichever group I’m with, I feel I have to do a lot of explaining about the other. But I do feel that maintaining my connection to SOSP has been one of the most important things that I have done for the sake of my twenty years of undergraduate teaching. The schools in which I have worked are focused on undergraduates – in our science programs, that is all that we have—and on teaching. I’ve also been in programs with few faculty, so that my teaching assignments run across the entire field, not just systems courses. The big reward is in the opportunity to invest in my students, because there is lots of close contact over the four years that they are here. The downside is that it is hard to remain active in a research community. One of the most important things I can provide my students is perspective. It is vital that I maintain the outlook of a computer scientist who teaches, rather than being (only) a teacher of computer science. SOSP is my lifeline, a biennial pilgrimage for a chance to again immerse myself in a few days of conversation with folks who are working at the frontiers of research. That’s very refreshing, and it is a tremendous help as I think about what needs to be in our too-crowded curriculum and how to approach teaching it. And I’ve had lots of great conversations about undergraduate computer science: at my first SOSP after I started teaching, there was a memorable late night with Bruce Nelson and Mark Weiser, who were at the time preparing to advise the schools that they had attended. The CS-education conferences are useful, but they aren’t the like SOSP. The spectrum of principally-undergraduate colleges is broad, and I’ve chosen to work in a region of that spectrum where the teaching loads are fairly heavy and the support structures for research are light. I’ve usually attended SOSP at my own expense–that’s how valuable I find it. So I’m grateful for the financial support of a scholarship for 2013, and I think it would be a valuable service to the both communities— systems and undergraduate education—if faculty from more of the principally-undergraduate CS programs could share in the SOSP experience.
