With artificial neural network research being one of the new directions for new generation computers, current research suggests that open-box artificial higher order neural networks (HONNs) play an important role in this new direction. Artificial Higher Order Neural Networks for Modeling and Simulation introduces artificial Higher Order Neural Networks (HONNs) to professionals working in the fields of modeling and simulation, and explains that HONN is an open-box artificial neural network tool as compared to traditional artificial neural networks. Including details of the most popular HONN models, this book provides an opportunity for practitioners in the field of modeling and simulations to understand and know how to use HONNS in their area of expertise.
