Specifying, constructing and simulating structured connectionist networks requires significant programming effort. System tools can greatly reduce the effort required, and by providing a conceptual structure within which to work, make large and complex network simulations possible. The Rochester Connectionist Simulator is a system tool designed to aid specification, construction and simulation of connectionist networks. This report describes this tool in detail: the facilities provided and how to use them, as well as details of the implementation. Through this we hope not only to make designing and verifying connectionist networks easier, but also to encourage the development and refinement of connectionist research tools themselves.
