Overview

The simulator kernel offers a variety of functions for the creation and manipulation of networks. These can roughly be grouped into the following categories:

• functions to manipulate the network
• functions to determine the structure of the network
• functions to define and manipulate cell prototypes
• functions to propagate the network
• learning functions
• functions to manipulate patterns
• functions to load and save the network and pattern files
• functions for error treatment, search functions for names, functions to change default values etc.

The following paragraphs explains the interface functions in detail. All functions of this interface between the kernel and the user interface carry the prefix krui_... (kernel user interface functions).

Additionally there are some interface functions which are useful to build applications for ART networks. These functions carry the prefix artui_... (ART user interface functions).
