Can anyone provide me pointers to simulator programs for Connectionist
Networks/ General Value Passing Networks?

I am proposing to build a simulator for a project, but would much prefer
to use an existing one if it were available. The program I am proposing
would take a description of a network and translate it into a program to
simulate it (much like what YACC does with parsers). By having it build
programs, a high degree of generality can be achived as the definitions
of what the nodes and links are can be written in. Also, like YACC, the
simulation compiler would only build the simulation engine, allowing
the user to add any interface he desires.

Any comments would be appreciated. I would be happy to send my notes on
the simulator ideas to anyone interested.

Thanks
