This is the fourth conference which explores the roles of experiment in
science and the reasons why one experiment legitimately plays such roles. In
this conference we wish to emphasize answers to the question, "What Makes a
Good Experiment?" One can distinguish between conceptually important
experiments, those classified by their relation to theory; testing theory,
calling for a new theory etc. and technically good experiments, those that
measure a quantity of scientific interest with greater accuracy and
precision than had been done previously. Both types of experiment must be
methodologically good, experiments that give reasoned and valid arguments
for the credibility of their results.
