The greatest challenge - and these are my first, very stumbling thoughts here - is to find ways that people can work together on the overall roblem - that all these systems (or subsystems) that people are working on can connect and evolve together.
Agreed. And to do this we need to create a framework/language in which such software is most naturally expressed in a way that's casually reusable - in which "apply Alice's genetic algorithm to Bob's vision system on Carol's test set, and distribute the computation across all Dave's spare lab machines whose overnight cycles he's volunteered" (where the people involved had not been aware of each other's existence when doing their work) becomes as casual an act as calling sqrt() is today. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
