Development of a graphical user interface for a simulation software

To facilitate the use of a software to simulate a medicinal-diagnostic high throughput laboratory, a graphical user interface (GUI) is developed, which covers the full functionality of the software. The hitherto existing approach to store simulation instructions as a C# source code file, including direct calls of methods and functions, is completely overhauled and replaced with a new storage format, which stores user defined simulation instructions in form of a serialized JSON object. To ensure backwards compatibility of existing simulation instructions, a converter application is developed, which is able to convert simulation instructions written in C# into JSON format. The GUI is designed as a web-based client/server application.
