A Study on Neural Network for Path Searching in Switching Network

Neural networks are a class of systems that have many simple processors (neurons) which are highly interconnected. The function of each neuron is simple, and the behavior is determined predominately by the set of interconnections. Thus, a neural network is a special form of parallel computer. Although major impetus for using neural networks is that they may be able to "learn" the solution to the problem that they are to solve, we argue that another, perhaps even stronger, impetus is that they provide a framework for designing massively parallel machines. The highly interconnected architecture of switching networks suggests similarities to neural networks. Here, we present switching applications in which neural networks can solve the problems efficiently. We also show that a computational advantage can be gained by using nonuniform time delays in the network.
