AbstractGUI Development for a Neural Network-Based Urban Model Track: Modeling Author(s): David E Drake, Indranil Goswami, Tony E Graham The graphical user interface (GUI) for an urban model is developed to allow users to run a neural network model on historical census data for Baltimore, Maryland, from 1970-1990. Users can select and prioritize the data categories (fields) to be used in the model. An artificial neural network will use the extracted data to make projections, which will be exported to the user in the form of tables and maps. Avenue scripts perform the core functions of the GUI--user query, data export (to the model), data import (from the model), and data display.
