Non-intrusive soln, so researchers can concentrate on research Try not to Demand users to change their established practice Change their programs Change deployment platform Change their programs’ interface Change how their programs interact with their data Try to Adapt to their existing practice Allow them to use their favourites (program, language, platform, OS, format, file system, …) Make their life easier Ask them to do as little as possible
Could drop this slide if too many.
Software study: two fortran programs, one Java gui Understanding the data: correction data, sample data, calibration data Learn about the software from the scientists
