| Information <br> |
| in a Development Environment </h4> |
| <P> |
| 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.</P> |

| <font color="#999999">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. |
