Pieces of mind: Component-based software development of artificial intelligence

Abstract

New phase in Object-Orientated methodology evolution, known as component-based development, has finally opened process of industrial software production in past few years. Potential benefits for Artificial Intelligence are still waiting to be discovered, but it is clear that component-based development could bring AI closer to the software industry, by bringing easy and ready-to-use solutions. This paper will try to point in potential benefits that component-based development could introduce into the world of AI.
