Review 1


COMMENTS

This paper describes an interesting piece of empirical research relevant for the workshop. It should definitely be accepted as a full/technical paper. Maybe, the presentation style could be slightly adapted to what is typically used in technical papers (but this is not a must, the lively style used by the authors is probably ok for a workshop in which new ideas should be presented in order to trigger lively discussion).



Review 2


COMMENTS

The paper leaves out a few details that would be important to understand the approach.  For instance, the TAR2 tool is not really explained in detail.  so a reader that doesn't already know how TAR2 works will have the very  limited understanding of the approach.  The explanation of simulated annealing is quite superficial too, so, again, 1 has a very high-level view of how the approach proposed by the authors really works.  Nevertheless, the topic of the paper is quite interesting so I'll leave it up to the authors if they intend to provide better and deeper explanations for TAR2 and simulated annealing and make it a full/technical paper, more if they prefer to leave the paper the way it is now and paper can e accepted as a discussion paper with no changes.
