    Addressing the ambitious research agendas put forward by many scientific

    disciplines requires meeting a multitude of challenges in intelligent

    systems, information sciences, and human-computer interaction. There are

    many aspects of the scientific discovery process that our community could

    help automate, facilitate, or make more efficient through

    artificial intelligence techniques. For example, although considerable

    efforts have been directed toward data modeling and integration, these

    activities continue to demand large investments of scientists’ time and

    effort. The scientific literature continues to grow and is becoming

    more and more unmanageable for researchers operating in the most active

    disciplines. Better interfaces for collaboration, visualization, and

    understanding would significantly improve scientific practice. Scientific

    data, publications, and tools could be published in open formats with

    appropriate semantic descriptions and metadata annotations to improve

    sharing and dissemination. Opportunities for broader participation in

    well-defined scientific tasks enable human contributors to provide large

    amounts of data, annotations, or complex processing results that could not

    otherwise be obtained. These are just some examples of areas where there

    are opportunities for artificial intelligent techniques could make a

    difference. Improvements and innovations across the spectrum of scientific

    processes and activities will have a profound impact on the rate of

    scientific discoveries.

    This symposium will provide a forum for researchers interested in

    understanding the role of AI techniques in improving or innovating

    scientific processes.

    We seek submissions that: (1) report on success stories that illustrate the

    potential of future research in this field; (2) discuss lessons learned in

    the process of addressing challenging aspects of the scientific process;

    (3) analyze the impact of a particular technique in an area of science and

    reflect on its potential for broader applicability in other sciences; and

    (4) propose future concepts grounded in lessons learned and an

    understanding of the challenges in the scientific discovery process.

    Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    ? Ontologies and knowledge bases that model particular areas of scientific

    knowledge

    ? Semantic representations of metadata for all aspects of scientific

    processes

    ? Techniques for organizing scientific literature

    ? Workflow systems to manage complex data analysis processes

    ? Knowledge discovery techniques that are embedded in the context of

    scientific investigations

    ? Integrative approaches of machine learning and scientific model induction

    ? Automated systems for experiment design, data analysis, and hypothesis

    generation and refinement

    ? User-centered design of intelligent systems that partner with scientists

    to perform complex tasks

    ? Integrated approaches to visualizing data, models, and the connections

    between them to foster new insights

    ? Cognitive-centered design of scientist aids

    ? Social computing systems that let novice participants contribute to

    scientific tasks

    Submissions can be up to 6 pages, using the AAAI style files. Submissions

    should be uploaded to the submission site no later than June 5 2012 before

    midnight on the timezone of your choice.
