| <font size="2">Thank you for downloading the preview release of Mylar. As you work Mylar will monitor your interaction |
| with Eclipse (by logging IDs of: views, editors, commands, and preference changes along with their values). |
| The log also stores information about the program elements that you edit and navigate, but removes identifying |
| information about those elements by obfuscating their names and paths. Approximately once every week you will |
| be asked to confirm an upload of this interaction log to a UBC server. Before uploading you will have a chance to |
| review the information being sent, and to answer a short questionnaire. You will have the option to remain |
| anonymous throughout the study.</font></P> |

| <font color="#999999" size="2">Details: The UBC Study title is Using Interaction History to Determine Interesting Information in a Development |
| Environment. There are no known risks associated with this study. After the study, this interaction history |
| will be stripped of all information identifying non-anonymous subjects, and we will use this data to determine |
| what Mylar views are useful, and to determine whether Mylar makes it easier to work on large systems in Eclipse. |
| We also plan on making this anonymous usage data available to other researchers interested in improving the |
| IDE user experience. Please note that the data collected will be archived for future use. This data will be |
| anonymous and not contain any identification information. This study is being conducted by Mik Kersten |
| (beatmik@cs.ubc.ca) as a part of his PhD Thesis and supervised by Dr. Gail Murphy (murphy@cs.ubc.ca). If you |
| have any questions about the data being collected or about the study in general please email us or call Mik |
| Kersten at 604-822-0193. If you have any concerns about your treatment or rights as a research subject, you |
| may contact Research Subject Information Line in the UBC Office of Research Services at the University of |
| British Columbia, at 604-822-8598. If this questionnaire is completed it will be assumed that consent has |
| been given. This study is being funded by the IBM Centre for Advanced Studies and by NSERC. |
