As usual, 3:15 in 7220. This week's speaker is Deepak Kulkarni. Title: Processes of scientific discovery: Strategy of Experimentation KEKADA is a program that models some strategies of experimentation which scientists use in their research. When augmented with appropriate background knowledge, it can simulate in detail Krebs' course of discovery of urea synthesis. Williamson's discovery of alcohol-structure is another discovery it can simulate. I would like to discuss the general mechanisms used in the system and some half-baked ideas about further work on the system. ----- Deepak told me that he's very interested in getting feedback on some of his ideas for further work. I'm hoping that we'll have a lively feedback session. - Steve
