Chapter gives the details about how to obtain SNNS and under what conditions. It includes licensing, copying and exclusion of warranty. It then discusses how to install SNNS and gives acknowledgments of its numerous authors. Chapter introduces the components of neural nets and the terminology used in the description of the simulator. Therefore, this chapter may also be of interest to people already familiar with neural nets.
Chapter describes how to operate the two-dimensional graphical user interface.
After a short overview of all commands a more detailed description of these commands with an example dialog is given. Chapter describes the form and usage of the patterns of SNNS Chapter describes the integrated graphical editor of the 2D user interface. These editor commands allow the interactive construction of networks with arbitrary topologies. Chapter is about a tool to facilitate the generation of large, regular networks from the graphical user interface. Chapter describes the connectionist models that are already implemented in SNNS, with a strong emphasis on the less familiar network models.
