QuteNNS - Qt4 based GUI for SNNS

Welcome to QuTeNNS

The project QuTeNNS was originally founded during the diploma thesis of Christian Welzel.
The main objective of this work was to develope a new frontend to the famous neuronal network simulator SNNS.

SNNS (Stuttgard Neuronal Network Simulator) is a very comprehensive tool to simulate neuronal networks. It features many important network types and provides a lot of network functions. This tool is very mature and has been optimized during its long period of development.

Unfortunately the user interface is very old and does not conform to todays guidelines. Furthermore the GUI is based on the X protocol and is on this account limited to systems that are X compliant. With excludes all platform running under Microsoft Windows.

So the requirements found for this project were these:

  • platform independent programming language
  • platform independent user interface toolkit
  • usage of modern gui programming paradigms like tooltips, drag'n'drop and online help
Some futher additions to the functionality were also integrated into the concept of QuTeNNS. The most important ones are
  • management of several network simulations at the same time
  • simulations should be seperated from gui
  • usage of an MDI style user interface
Currently the progress of this project is somewhat slow because of the real life. If you want to help in development please contact me at my Sorceforge account [sir_gawain at users.sourceforge.net].
