ViNNSL - the Vienna Neural Network Specification Language

We present ViNNSL (Vienna Neural Network Specification Language), an XML based language for describing, training and running neural networks on a grid infrastructure. ViNNSL allows for dynamic client-server communication regarding the semantics of neural network resources. As a proof-of-concept the language is used in N2Grid, a system for the utilization of neural network resources on a worldwide basis. Based on the grid infrastructure N2Grid allows to build up a virtual community enabling arbitrary users to exchange knowledge (neural network resources, such as neural network objects and neural network paradigms) and to exploit the available computing resources for neural network specific tasks, leading to a grid based, world-wide distributed, neural network knowledge and simulation system.
