“…Collaboration is an essential aspect of life scientists' work, ranging from working together in the same physical space to co-publishing and distantly sharing work. During our field study we observed that being aware of each others' activities was an important aspect of scientists' work in the laboratory (Kulyk et al 2007). Bioinformatics laboratories are full of displays ( Figure 2) …”

The visual and multidimensional representations like images and graphical structures related to biology provide great insights into understanding the complexities of different organisms. Especially, life scientists use different representations of molecular structures to answer biological questions and to better understand cellular processes. Combining results from two field studies, we explore the role of molecular structures in life scientists' current work from a humanfactors perspective. Our main conclusion is that different representations of molecular structures, due to their visual nature, are important for supporting collaboration, constructing new knowledge and supporting scientists' professional activities in general.

“…The overwhelming amount of visual information on multiple displays, and the multitude of personal and shared interaction devices in new collaborative environments, lead to the lack of awareness of the ongoing activities, lack of understanding of shared visualisations and lack of awareness on who is in control of shared artefacts. The focus of our research is on the awareness support of co-located teams in collaborative working environments (Kulyk et al, 2007). Understanding who you are working with, what is being worked on, and how your actions affect others, is essential for effective team collaboration (Dourish and Bellotti, 1992).…”

Motivation-Modern collaborative environments often provide an overwhelming amount of visual information on multiple displays. The multitude of personal and shared interaction devices leads to lack of awareness of team members on ongoing activities, and awareness of who is in control of shared artefacts. This research addresses the situational awareness (SA) support of multidisciplinary teams in co-located collaborative environments. This work aims at getting insights into design and evaluation of large displays systems that afford SA and effective teamwork. Research approach-An exploratory (Wassink et al., 2008) as well as experimental approach is applied. The results of our exploratory studies, which included contextual observations, interviews and task analysis, have been translated into requirements for support of multidisciplinary teamwork in life sciences (Kulyk and Wassink, 2006). Currently we perform practical case studies in omics experimentation domain (Kulyk et al., 2007). In a first controlled study we assess shared SA of team members, providing new SA concepts on a shared large display. Findings/Design-We developed several concepts for SA support on large shared displays. Memory Board is an interface that automatically stores and visualizes the activity history on a shared large display. This allows team members to retrieve annotations made on previous slides or visualizations. It also provides awareness of who is currently in control of any display, and who is manipulating and annotating the visualizations. Highlighting on Demand interface enables a team member to highlight or fade out any part of a display using any personal interaction device. Take away message-Designing systems that support situational awareness is of great importance to ensure that a collaborative environment enables efficient and effective team coordination and decision making.

“…MacEachren et al [47] present a collaborative geovisualisation environment for knowledge construction and decision support. The e-BioLab is a collaborative environment that aims to facilitate multidisciplinary teams during project meetings on molecular biology experiments [41,64]. The large high-resolution display in this environment allows scientists to gain new insights into the results of their experiments and to explore genomics data (see Figure 4).…”
