Abstract

We present N2Sky, a novel Cloud-based neural network simulation environment. The system implements a transparent environment aiming to enable arbitrary and experienced users to do neural network simulations easily and comfortably. The necessary resources, as CPU-cycles, storage space, etc., are provided by using Cloud infrastructure. N2Sky also fosters the exchange of neural network specific knowledge, as neural network paradigms and objects, between users following a virtual organization design blue-print. N2Sky is built using the RAVO reference architecture which allows itself naturally integrating into the Cloud service stack (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS) of service oriented architectures.
