Hello CCL,
I have been looking into the use of neural networks for QSAR problems
and have found a useful shareware program for Windows 95 machines
(WinNN32) that the CCL community might be interested in. I uploaded
WinNN32 to the CCL archive and you may download it from:
ftp://www.ccl.net/pub/chemistry/software/MS-WIN95-NT/Neural-Networks

or the authors page:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/9052/winnn.html
(there are a couple links to chemistry applications of WinNN on this
page)

WinNN32 uses a feed-forward, back propagation algorithm that has been
commonly used for "regression" type problems where you want to predict a
response from input parameters.  I have been learning about NNs and have
found the program easy to use and quick. Check it out if you are
interested.


 ... a selected few QSAR/NN references with datasets if you're getting
started, there are lots more of course ...

The usual disclaimer: I am only pointing out the availability of the
WinNN program, all risks of using WinNN and it's results are your own.

HPCS'98, the annual Canadian conference on High Performance
Computing Systems and Applications, is being held in Edmonton
on May 20-22.  This conference will showcase the latest in
high performance computing technology, bringing together those
that develop the technology together with those that use it.

Full conference registration includes:

* five excellent keynote speakers
* invited papers in application areas of biology, chemistry
  and physics
* refereed papers
* poster session
* conference proceedings (published by Kluwer)
* vendor exhibits
* banquet at the Provincial Museum
* three lunches
* wine and cheese

We are still looking for people to contribute to the poster
session (deadline is April 17 -- see the web page). Consider
