	Scientific data mining and knowledge discovery Much of scientific discovery is the result of induction--patterns peeking through data are recognized. Of course, this process requires a trained mind and a conceptual framework that may be either confirmed or challenged. The investigator needs to know what a needle looks like before he burrows into the haystack, and he... more One of the consequences which have arisen in the prosecution of the invention of the calculating machinery, has been the discovery of a multitude of... more - Charles Babbage (1889) Programming assistance based on contracts and modular verification in the automation domain: SAC 10 While formal methods may not be a part of the mainstream [1], they have been shown, in many projects, to improve quality.
