van Andel's ``patterns of serendipity'' are likely to be highly  applicable in computational settings.  First, inSection \ref{sec:background} we present our formal  definition of serendipity, and examine related work that has applied  the concept of serendipity in a computational context. Then in  Section \ref{sec:literature-review}, we survey the broad literature on  serendipity. Then in Section \ref{sec:background} we present our formal  definition of  serendipity, and examine related work that has applied  the concept of serendipity in a computational context,  making connections from historical examples of serendipitous discovery and invention to our formal model. Section  \ref{sec:computational-serendipity} then presents case studies and  thought experiments in terms of this model. Section
