Cellular Neural Networks

Cellular Neural Networks Edited by T. Roska, Computer & Automation Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences J. Vandewalle, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Written by a team of well–known researchers, this unique book and software package covers all the recent developments in, and applications of, cellular neural networks. The text is divided into four sections, detailing the theory, VLSI realization, design tools and applications of CNNs. Features include:

• The design of high–speed, high–density CNNs in CMOS technology.
• Testability in analogue cellular neural networks.
• The practical applications of CNNs including the detection of moving and stationary objects, and the use of cellular neural networks for solving specific image–processing problems.
• A versatile CNN software simulator accompanies the book. Designed for standard PCs under MS DOS, this user–friendly program allows users to visualize and test their own ideas. The 3.5" disk and user’s manual form an essential part of this package.

The wide–ranging applications of cellular neural networks and the ease of VLSI implementation have ensured that CNNs are now a major new research area. This comprehensive package will provide valuable guidance for advanced students and researchers in electrical and electronic engineering and computer science. Neurobilogists and mathematicians will also find the package appealing.
