Abstract
A group of researchers at Microsoft hopes to transform the way scientists study complex, ever-changing systems, such as the global carbon cycle and information processing inside cells. To do so, they9re working to develop a suite of new software tools including novel programming languages that better represent biological systems and computer models that work across multiple scales, simulating carbon budgets at the levels of leaves, trees, and forests, for example. They9re also striving to make those tools simple to use, thereby extending the types of studies that can be done by researchers who aren9t full-time programmers. Prototype versions of several of these tools are now up and running and being put through their paces by researchers at Microsoft.
