PRODIGY design inspired by software engineering
The designers of PRODIGY, instead of basing their design on
human cognitive processing, used
some of the methodologies developed from Software Engineering. Since
PRODIGY is, in effect, a large software project, the designers felt that
many of the lessons learned by software engineers should be applicable to
the design and implementation of an integrated cognitive architecture.
Specifically, the
modular design of the PRODIGY
architecture and the utilization of a
knowledge representation (or
data structure) with
uniform accessibility were both
based on software engineering principles.
