An object-oriented language for neural network simulation

This paper describes an object oriented language for the simulation of neural on supercomputers. It is based on the general framework of Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) proposed by Rumelhart and McClelland. The language design approach adopts the same philosophy of HISLD, which is a language for specifying the connection of computer circuitry. However, HISDL does not have the capability for specifying the behaviour of a neural network system. The purpose of the design of our object oriented language is to provide a tool for the user to describe his network connections with ease.
