Abstract

Herein we present a modular approach to a high-throughput experimentation software environment. Instead of a monolithic master system, small tools with a limited set of tasks are interconnected using standardized, self-descriptive data structures. This approach is highly flexible with respect to the rapidly changing needs of the scientists: Since the modules are isolated and intermodule communication is standardized, new components can be integrated without side effects. The developed software environment follows to a large extent the UNIX design philosophy and is heavily based on open-source software technologies that are used to solve specific tasks within the overall system to achieve high productivity in using the software for ambitious high-throughput experimentation programs. It is shown that the orchestration of the system significantly benefits from clear and standardized interface design based on hteML, the high-throughput experimentation markup language, an XML language for the description of high-throughput experimentation data and processes.
