INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE FOR WORKING WITH CHEMICAL DIAGRAMS

拟议的努力启动了对综合工具的研究 围绕独特需求和沟通设计的研究文档 生化研究人员的语言。一种名为ChemWriter的计算机系统 将从第一阶段设计开始在第二阶段实施。ChemWriter 解决了许多健康科学家使用文本工作的需求， 定量数据和化学结构图于一体 时尚。现有工具仅提供零碎的和不可集成的 解决办法。ChemWriter将加强研究文档流程， 提高研究人员的工作效率，加快重要信息的传播 研究成果。ChemWriter的设计是通过一个 人机界面设计方法论发端并取得成功 由拟议的首席调查员申请。该方法论侧重于 分析应用领域专家的功能需求 (即，生化研究人员)，并设计用户界面以适合 这些需求。软件‘形式’然后被设计成面向使用的功能 界面的属性。ChemWriter将整合化学元素 支持和简化化学结构图的智能 绘制过程，并将通过使用 显示描述语言的新兴技术。主要创新之处 提供的是将一种新的设计方法应用于基本信息 生化专业人员的加工问题。

The proposed efforts initiates research into an integrated tool for research documentation designed around the unique needs and communication language of biochemical researchers. A computer system called ChemWriter will be implemented in Phase II from the Phase I design. ChemWriter addresses the need of many health scientists to work with text, quantitative data, and chemical structure diagrams in an integrated fashion. Existing tools offer only piece-meal and non-integratable solutions. ChemWriter would enhance the research documentation process, increase researcher productivity, and speed dissemination of important research results. The design for Chemwriter is developed through a methodology for human-computer interface design originated and successfully applied by the proposed principal investigator. The methodology focuses on analyzing the functional needs of the specialist in the application domain (i.e., the biochemical researcher), and designing the user interface to fit these needs. Software 'form' is then designed to the use-oriented function of the interface. ChemWriter will incorporate elements of chemical intelligence to support and streamline the chemical structure diagram drawing process, and will be largely machine independent through use of the emerging technology of display description languages. The chief innovation offered is applying a new design methodology to the fundamental information processing problems of biochemical professionals.
