Picoblaze Based Self Organizing Learning Array and Its Experimental Setting

Acknowledgements First of all, I want to thank my advisor – Dr. Starzyk, who recognized that the PicoBlaze microcontroller core is adaptable to neural network application at the very early stage after PicoBlaze was developed. And before then, I had been working on the SOLAR implementation using a kind of serial based processing in the hardware. This new design component (PicoBlaze) gave me much interest and challenge. And also during this whole period, he gave me much direct help and directions. Secondly, I would also thank all the group members who helped me a lot via discussion, advice or even argument. with me, so we had many discussions. He contributed to the routing work for the future improvement of this structure. His work was combined with mine resulting in a conference paper and a journal paper on this topic. Finally, I would thank my family. They are always with me, give me encouragement, and teach me to how to face and overcome difficulty.
