| summary | Formalizing and automating the scientific process can lead
us into a new era of scientific development where human scientists are
assisted by machines, not only in the experimental process, but more
importantly in the scientific reasoning and thinking required for
modeling phenomena, analyzing the experimental data and evaluating and
refining our models.
The talk will present this philosophical point of view, arguing that
its foundation requires the automation of abductive and inductive
reasoning (and their integration). It will then show how this logic-
based approach can be applied in the area of Systems Biology, a
relatively new area of Biology which attempts to understand how the
various components of a biological system operate together in order to
perform complex biological functions. We will illustrate this with
example studies of modeling gene interactions and metabolic pathways,
including the Robotscientist project which has developed the first
completely autonomous machine thinking and experimenting scientist. |
