T he Arnold O. and Mabel M. Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will be a worldclass research institution, and will test new approaches to interdisciplinary research, bringing the best minds from manyfieldsto bear on broad-scale problems. The institute will consist of two interrelated research centers with remarkably parallel orientations. One center - the Center for Materials Science, Computers and Computation - will be geared toward broad-based problems in the physical sciences. The other - the Center for Biology, Behavior and Cognition - will attack similarly large problems in the life sciences. Some have envisioned the institute's structure as a dynamic triangle. Within each center are four main levels of research, beginning at the base with the atomic and molecular level and proceeding through questions of increasing complexity and higher organization. Afifthlevel - "intelligence" joins the two centers at the apex. The focus of the Center for Materials Science, Computers and Computation will begin at the level of solid state materials and move up through large-scale integration The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology 'Intelligence' Information I Sciences Center for Materials Science, Computers and Computation Center for Biology, Behavior and Cognition
