data mining
Prof. Higgs, inventor of the particle concept that might raise gravity, explains in an interview in the new scientist that the particle might have been found already with Fermilab or the former cyclotron at CERN, but the main difficulty is and will be the data mining problem. Searching traces in a lot of data is always a challenge as the Google business models succesfully shows. Equally, finding the effect of genes on a phenotype, or the effect of signals in the brain is a domain where better data mining techniques might be needed.
