  GWE Experiment Results Browser

Key Investigators

• UCSD: Marco Ruiz
• Isomics: Steve Pieper
• BWH: Andriy Fedorov

Objective

• Determine the usability improvements and missing features for the GWE results browser prototype.
• Collect suggestions on desired interfaces to serve currently unresolved browsing scenarios, such as co-dependent variables.

Approach, Plan

• Demo current state of the results browser.
• Describe currently resolved scenarios as well as unresolved ones such as co-dependent variables navigation.
• Describe limiting issues such as browsing media types located on remote clusters (size, network speed, etc) and rendering custom media types (pluggable rendering framework?)
• Open discussion and gather feedback.

Progress

• A prototype of the experiment results browser has been released in GWE 0.7.3.alpha (latest release) based on the ideas brainstormed a few months ago (during the GWE mini retreat).
• A YouTube video has been created to show this prototype in action.

• A separate web server application to serve as a publisher of experiments results is of higher interest.
• For co-dependent variables the result browser will keep a tree of dependencies and re-render all the sliders accordingly every time than any of them changes.
