N2Grid: neural networks in the grid

We present a framework for the usage of neural network resources on a world-wide basis. Our approach employs the novel infrastructure of the grid as a transparent environment to allow users the exchange of information (neural network objects, neural network paradigms) and the exploitation of available computing resources for neural network specific tasks leading to a grid based, world-wide distributed, neural network simulation system, which we call N2Grid. Our system uses only standard protocols and services aiming for a wide dissemination of this grid application.
