This thesis aims to provide biologists with a better control over the software they use through a reflection on software flexibility and end-user programming, as well as a user-centred design approach. A lack of flexibility among available tools often limits their usefulness. Programming is the most general solution, but how do we provide access to this complex technique to the biologists who do not want to spend too much time learning how to build software ? We first address this issue by a discussion on programmation, interaction and software flexibility. We then extend the idea of user-programming to the idea of participatory design, as two complementary means for giving the users control over the software they use. We also conducted fie...
