ECANSE provides a framework for evolutionary rapid prototyping. The generic object-oriented framework allows extension and integration of new tools and processing techniques. Since software configurations are designed visually under its generic environment, hybrid systems including conventional computing and new processing techniques like neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, expert systems, and nonlinear analysis (e.g., chaotic dynamics, mutual information) can be implemented. Furthermore, hybrid intelligent systems may also be designed where the system incorporates several soft-computing techniques for performance enhancement. Any of the components designed may be reused for future applications. ECANSE operates on UNIX workstations.
