A services-oriented architecture applied to artificial neural network

In this work, a services-oriented architecture that allows the utilization of artificial neural network models, through the Internet, is proposed. The Web Services, the Message Queuing and the Neural Network Markup Language constitute the technology used for the development of this approach. The module called by Artificial Neural Network-Web Service is the main module of the proposed architecture. It is an independent module, that accepts as entrance a description of the ANN characteristics and the necessary data to its training in a neural network markup language format returning as result the trained ANN. A main advantage of this approach is that any user can invoke this application programmatically over the Internet, without that it needs to have a computer with great capacity of processing.
