Integrated Systems for Computational Scientific Discovery

This paper poses the challenge of developing and evaluating integrated systems for computational scientific discovery. We note some distinguishing characteristics of discovery tasks, examine eight component abilities, review previous successes at partial integration, and consider hurdles the AI research community must leap to transform the vision for integrated discovery into reality. In closing, we discuss promising scientific domains in which to test such computational artifacts.
