Automated Experimentation
http://www.aejournal.net/

Automated Experimentation is an open access journal that encompasses high-quality research on all aspects of the automation of clusters of experiments for high throughput, particularly (but not exclusively) in the fields of biomedicine and biomedical informatics. Automated Experimentation aims to provide a platform for biomedical and informatics researchers to develop, execute, reuse, share, revise, and recombine their automated experimentation processes or protocols. There is no substitute for scientific experimentation in discovering new reliable knowledge however experimentation is highly expensive. Therefore it is desirable to automate the execution of a cluster of experiments according to pre-specified computational protocols. With recent and ongoing developments in engineering (e.g. Labs-on-a-chip),
laboratory robotics, and informatics, automated experimentation is crucial for expediting large-scale research like systems biology and translational medicine. Automated Experimentation features the methodology, protocols, and significant results of automated experiments for easy sharing among laboratories worldwide. Automated Experimentation covers all fields that are related to high-throughput and automated experimentation. Topical areas include (but are not limited to):

* Use of experiment protocols and scientific workflows
* Representing experiment protocols, apparatus and data in domain-specific languages
* Verification and validation methods
* Instrument, apparatus or robotic setups
* Robot scientists and intelligent experimentation systems
* Web-based and computational experimentation
* Software for automating the experiment process
* Biomedical and clinical experimentation
* Scientific findings obtained by automated experiments
* Knowledge sharing infrastructures applied to experimentation
* eScience and eResearch
* Philosophy, theories and formalisms
* Methods of hypothesis generation
* Capturing the process of arguments in automated experiments
