System Level Science
Understanding in context– Move focus beyond individual phenomena– Understand how components interact and interrelate
Characteristics– End-to-end– Multi-disciplinary, multi-phenomena– Alternative approaches for each component– Often need to integrate rich data sources– Seek to answer many different types of questions

Future Directions
Sensitivity analysis– E.g., automated development of adjoint models
Data-intensive science—driven by “data big bang”– Peer-to-peer analysis and data product publishing– Distributed systems for automated analysis,
discovery, and annotation– Automated hypothesis creation tools for pattern
detection—capable of suggesting relationships– Predictive modeling

Socio-Economic Modeling
Terascale (i.e., today, almost)– Economic models with ~10 countries & ~10 sectors– Limited coupling with climate models– No treatment of uncertainty and business cycle risk– Simple impact analysis for a limited set of scenarios– Limited ability to provide quantitative policy advice

Petascale– Economic models with more countries, sectors,
income groups– Limited treatment of uncertainty, business cycle risk– Stronger coupling with climate models

Socio-Economic Modeling Exascale
– Economic models with all countries, many sectors, many income groups
– Many policy instruments (taxes, tariffs, quotas, CAFE, CO2 taxes), nonlinear policies, etc.
– High spatial resolution in land use, etc.– Detailed coupling & feedbacks with climate models– Optimization of policy instruments & technology
choices over time and with respect to uncertainty– Detailed model validation & careful data analysis– Treatment of technological innovation, industrial
competition, population changes, migration, etc.

Meta-Innovation: How Can We Accelerate Innovation?
We have discussed the usual ideas– Policies to encourage private R&D investment– Government investment in R&D– Education
Can we use technology to accelerate innovation?– Lack of innovators: engage the world (Wikipedia)– Access to information: a “US Knowledge Exchange”– Access to modeling: models, tools, supercomputers
