I like the topic of the workshop, because I have struggled with the problem of evaluating and comparing usability a lot in the past, and I see that Antoine and Frédéric have similar problems with their research. The only thing I hope is that this workshop is not on the same day as

DLS (where we'll be presenting the RoelTyper paper, that got accepted after Frédéric improved the precision; watch out for this new version in Squeak and Pharo one of the coming days).

Alex, are you going to OOPSLA ?

I do not expect anything from this kind of workshop.
