Presenting the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of 
data-intensive science

The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific DiscoveryIncreasingly, 
scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing 
capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets.

The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend 
on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with 
technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow 
management, visualization, and cloud computing technologies.

In The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery, the 
collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer 
scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on 
data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully 
realized.
Praise for The Fourth Paradigm

“The impact of Jim Gray’s thinking is continuing to get people to think 
in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to 
do science."
— Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft Corporation

“I often tell people working in eScience that they aren’t in this field 
because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it’s because they care 
about science and they are alive now. It is about technology changing 
the world, and science taking advantage of it, to do more and do better.”
— Rhys Francis, Australian eResearch Infrastructure Council

“One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century science is how we 
respond to this new era of data-intensive science. This is recognized as 
a new paradigm beyond experimental and theoretical research and computer 
simulations of natural phenomena—one that requires new tools, 
techniques, and ways of working.”
— Douglas Kell, University of Manchester

“The contributing authors in this volume have done an extraordinary job 
of helping to refine an understanding of this new paradigm from a 
variety of disciplinary perspectives.”
— Gordon Bell, Microsoft Research

Microsoft Research is honored to provide initial website hosting for 
this book launch.
We will also have a print-on-demand book version and versions for the 
Kindle and Sony eBook Reader.
