DS-2010 provides an open forum for intensive discussions and exchange of new ideas among researchers working in the area of Discovery Science. The scope of the conference includes the development and analysis of methods for automatic scientific knowledge discovery, machine learning, intelligent data analysis, theory of learning, as well as their application to knowledge discovery. Especially welcome are papers that strongly focus on the discovery aspect of the reported work. The proceedings of DS-2010 will most likely appear in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series by Springer-Verlag.

We invite submissions of research papers addressing all aspects of discovery science. We particularly welcome contributions that discuss the application of scientific knowledge discovery and other support techniques including, but not limited to, biomedical, astronomical, space, chemistry, and physics domains.
