Experiment Planning Environment Development Site

Welcome. ViroLabEPE is an integral part of the ViroLab Virtual Laboratory and this is the main development website of this tool. Here you will be able to read about the newest releases of this component, consult the installation and use manuals and find out about are the plans for future milestones.

Short description

The ViroLab EPE is a tool for managing experiment plans development process. Beside the ViroLab Portal, EPE is the main component of the ViroLab presantation layer.

The main idea is to provide experiment developers with powerful GScript editor for creating experiment plans in an easy way. Beside this EPE offers :

  • storing experiments locally using workspaces mechanism
  • sharing/retrieving experiments using the Experiment Reposiotory (for more details visit Experiment Repository web page)
  • releasing a new version of an experiment
  • executing experiment plans using GSEngine (for more details visit GSEngine web page)


However ViroLab EPE is not limited to these functionalities. Due to being based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) ViroLab EPE can be extended by wrapping new functionality with an Eclipse plugin and plug it into EPE.

Feedback and cooperation possibilities

You may (and, in fact, are kindly asked to) actively take part in making both the software and this webpage better.

Ticket system. First of all, the software. If you find a bug or you've thought of a useful feature/enhancement - please issue a ticket (see New Ticket tab). Tickets are small reports that you can use in order to describe the bug or you enhancement idea - you may check View Tickets to get the idea. What is important, each ticket has a discussion appended to it so you may further argument your point of view there. Tickets that are accepted for realization are assigned to specific milestones and the milestones, together with their deadline dates, form the Roadmap.

On the other hand, if you have any other comment, remark or a question/favor to ask, please use the contact information below to get in touch with us directly.
