Analysis of Requirements for Collaborative Scientific Experimentation Environments

Scientists face a number of challenges when performing their complex experiments. Collaborative Experimentation Environment (CEE) addressed in this paper is a support environment for scientific experimentations, with an emphasis on supporting joint multi-disciplinary projects and collaborations. In order for a support infrastructure to help scientists tackle the challenging characteristics of their experiments, it must properly address their requirements. This paper presents the results of characterization and requirements analysis for CEEs towards supporting the collaborative activities of scientists, and introduces the extensions necessary for the VLAM-G scientific experimentation environment.
