I think we're going to see more sharing of things we can build into our applications, especially things we may not be specialists in building. I postulate that an Algorithms as a Service concept will emerge and become increasingly popular very soon. Developers who have knowledge in a particular problem domain or technology vertical will be able to share their models or the use of those models with others to achieve the same inferences.

A simple example could be a recommendation engine that predicts the likelihood of a customer purchasing a product, given their previous buying or browsing behaviors. Models...
