C-ME: Collaborative Molecular Modeling Environment

This document describes an application currently being constructed with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Office SharePoint Server 2007 (OSS) that will enable collaboration between cancer researchers called the C-ME project (Collaborative Molecular Modeling Environment). Office 2007 with Visual Studio Tools for Office v3.0 (VSTO) will be used to generate reports from the information stored in OSS. The C-ME project is being built for cancer researchers. Curing cancer is a complex and lengthy process, and the collaborative tools researchers need don't exist. This document describes the problems of collaboration faced by cancer researchers and the technical approaches being taken to bridge the gap.
