Software is becoming an increasingly important part of many research endeavors. This has been increasingly true for biomedical research, yet the software available for the pursuit of biomedical research is deficient in a number of ways. The goal of this project is to derive a new approach to the development of software which is more appropriate to the realities of the biomedical research environment, then test that approach by using it to design and implement a non-trivial system to support research in this area.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Software is becoming an increasingly important part of many research endeavors. This has been increasingly true for biomedical research, yet the software available for the pursuit of biomedical research is deficient in a number of ways. The goal of this project is to derive a new approach to the development of software which is more appropriate to the realities of the biomedical research environment, then test that approach by using it to design and implement a non-trivial system to support research in this area.
520 $a The approach proposed differs from traditional techniques by shortening the time to initial prototype, incorporating the user's view directly into the design process, and specifically incorporating an iterative design process with an explicit evaluation step. The goal of the approach is to produce software which is easier to use, and supports an internal consistency with the user's view. This goal is accomplished by the development of an explicit mental model of the system.
520 $a The system which was designed and implemented utilizing this approach is the macromolecular workbench (MMWB). This system provides a variety of unique features. First, it provides the ability for users to interact with the system utilizing multiple user interfaces. The learning curve is reduced by providing a consistent "user interface metaphor" across all of the interfaces. Second, the system provides for a separation between programs which require direct user interaction and programs which require very little in the way of user interaction. Third, the ability to have "sessions" which can extend over a period of time which can be much longer than a typical login session is provided. The sessions can be attached to and waiting messages from protocols can be received and replied to. One unique feature of the sessions is that the user can reattach to a session on a different interface, or using a different device than it was started on without any loss of functionality or communications ability with running protocols. Finally, the system provides a mechanism which is independent of the user interface but can still be extended to support semantic information and feedback.
