Vineeta (V) is a lab-bench biologist and Xing (X) is a computational biologist. Vineeta tells Xing via e-mail that she needs to use a Monte Carlo script which he wrote. Xing then logs into BioMate to create an interface for this script for Vineeta (and other lab-bench biologists) to use. Xing then clicks on the "My Scripts" folder on the computational biologist landing page shown below and subsequently chooses to create a new script (not shown here).
...
Xing, now at the page for creating new scripts, fills out the necessary information for his Monte Carlo script. In particular, he is able to simply specify the general format of the command in the "Command Format" text field and that string is parsed to yield suggested fields as shown on the right-hand side of the first wireframe below (under Heading 2.1). Next, Xing can edit the parsed commands if he has any issue with the computer-generated suggestions. Finally, Xing may save saves his script interface and share shares it with Vineeta.
After being notified that Xing has shared the Monte Carlo script with her, Vineeta logs into BioMate to view the interface which Xing created for the script. However, Vineeta notices that there is no option available to specify the number of iterations of analysisfor the script, something critical to the analysis she hopes to perform. Vineeta then e-mails Xing back requesting that he update the Monte Carlo script interface to allow her to specify the number of iterations.
Xing then logs back into BioMate, clicks on "My Scripts" on the landing page and selects the Monte Carlo script he just created (not shown here). Then, Xing can edit edits the script interface and add adds a paramters new parameter for the number of iterations, selecting an alias ("Iterations") as well as a prefix "-n", etc. Finally, Xing saves the updated script and re-shares this updated interface it with Vineeta.
Having been notified that Xing has updated the Monte Carlo script, Vineeta logs back into BioMate and comes to the landing page for lab-bench biologists shown below. She sees that the "Shared With Me" folder has a notification telling her that there are new scripts shared with her, one of which is ostensibly from Xing. She then clicks on that folder.
After clicking on the "Shared With Me" folder, Vineeta looks for the Monte Carlo script shared by Xing. It is the first script presented to her , since it is new. She clicks on the icon for that scriptsince it has just been shared by Xing and she hasn't viewed its interface yet.
Vineeta then comes to arrives at the interface for the Monte Carlo script which Xing has designed for her. In particular, she sees that there is now an option for "Number of Iterations" per her request. She enters the desired amount (500) and notes the command generated for her, which now includes the number of iterations (prefixed by "-n" as specified by Xing).
