'''SNNS''' (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) is a [[Neural network software|neural network simulator]] originally developed at the [[University of Stuttgart]]. While it was originally built for [[X11]] under [[Unix]], there are [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] ports{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}}. Its successor [[JavaNNS]] never reached the same popularity.

==Features==

SNNS is written around a simulation kernel to which user written activation functions, learning procedures and output functions can be added. It has support for arbitrary network topologies and the standard release contains support for a number of standard [[neural network]] architectures and training algorithms.

==Status==

There is currently no ongoing active development of SNNS. In July 2008 the license was changed to the [[GNU LGPL]].
