With deep theoretical roots in, massive informatics tools for, and visionary goals of scientific research, Automated Experimentation (AE) or biomedical sciences has been emerging in the latest and next generation biomedical informatics. By automating non-creative research processes, AE is generating and testing exhaustive data. By designing creative research processes, AE is hypothesizing and verifying new theories. AE does provide exciting models, cycles, workflows, platforms, and paradigms for scientific discoveries and knowledge sharing through the distributed networks of machines and people. Why do we limit ourselves in doing uninteresting research routines? Why not break new ground for AE and expand the horizons of science? Together we are making and sharing new knowledge in a new way - Automated Experimentation.
