Artificial neural networks (ANN) is probably the most
successful technology develeloped in the framework of Artificial
Intelligence (AI). ANN are widely applied in pattern recognition,
control and modelling.
Research in ANN is aimed at applying various types
of ANN to solving practical problems in water resources modelling
and management.
In the recent publications several applications of
ANN were demonstrated. Neural network tool NNN (for MS-DOS
and for Windows) has been built. A version that can be run across
Internet (WebNNN) is also available.
