Background and aims

Neosim is a framework to support large scale multi-level modelling of the nervous system. It:

allows plug-in of different simulation components for simulation, visualisation and I/O.
is specified in a way which allows running on workstations as well as networks of workstations and parallel machines without having to write a parallel program.
is based on discrete event simulation.
