Abstract :
The working session focuses on the use of eye-tracking technology to assess, understand, and evaluate tools and techniques for program comprehension. An introduction to the technology and tools of eye-tracking will be presented. A discussion of how these tools augment existing evaluation mechanism in the context of program comprehension will follow. Research directions and open problems will be a main topic.
