Abstract :
SNAIL is a general purpose connectionist network simulator. The simulation system introduces a language for the purpose of defining connectionist networks and running simulations. Trial simulations performed using SNAIL indicate that the resulting simulation tool is simple, flexible and modular. The system is general purpose in that a wide variety of connectionist networks-varying in every detail from network topology to the learning algorithm-can be dealt with easily. SNAIL has been implemented in LispTalk, an object oriented programming system running on top of Lisp
