Abstract
Advances in rapid information technology make it possible to find scientific truths inductively in cyber-space, and this kind of research method is spreading worldwide as a fourth science. This is a method of deriving truth from enormous data and is a data driven type induction method. On the other hand, living things repeated enormous trial and error in the process of evolution, and species that acquired the optimum mechanism in the global environment at that time have been survived. Therefore, it can be interpreted that the functions of living matters are obtained by data-driven induction method, and biomimetics is nature-inspired inductive method. Biomimetics is positioned on the extension line of Materials Informatics which is currently being studied, and further combination with information technology is considered to be very important.
