Abstract

An extension of an object oriented concurrent logic language for a flexible and rapid prototyping of new neural network models and its simulation is proposed. The environment combines the logic and object oriented paradigms. On one hand the declarative expressiveness of the logic languages allows a natural representation of connectivity in neural models. On the other hand the object oriented approach helps us in our effort in obtaining higher level simulation tools, because the lower level characteristics of the language are hidden by this approach and any new model can be made from the currently existing ones. Furthermore, because our environment is based on a concurrent language, it is easy to specify the parallel characteristics of the neural network and to implement our tools in a parallel computer.
