1. Program Purpose

NeuroSolutions is a highly graphical neural network simulator for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0/5.0. This leading edge software combines a modular, icon-based network design interface with an implementation of advanced learning procedures, such as recurrent backpropagation and backpropagation through time. The result is a virtually unconstrained environment for designing neural networks for research or to solve real-world problems. 

There are six levels of NeuroSolutions. The Educator, the entry level, is for users who want to learn about neural networks and work with MLPs. The Users level extends the Educator with a variety of neural models for static pattern recognition applications. The Consultants level offers enhanced models, which support dynamic pattern recognition, time-series prediction and process control problems. The Professional level adds ANSI-compatible C++ code generation, allowing one to embed NeuroSolutions' algorithms into their own applications (including learning). Furthermore, this level allows any simulation prototyped within NeuroSolutions to be run on other platforms (requires the Source Code License). The Developer levels allow you to extend the functionality of NeuroSolutions by integrating your own neural network, preprocessing, control, and input/output algorithms.
