Abstract
The objectives of the SIENA project were to examine the current state of commercial ANN usage across Europe and to undertake dissemination activities to excite business interest in this topic. The project received support from the European Commission under its Esprit programme. However, unlike most other Esprit project, SIENA has not involved in issues of technology development. Instead, SIENA has focused on the way in which 'known' technology can be deployed commercially. In some ways, the state of many of the previous Esprit projects reflect the concerns which originally prompted SIENA: high quality research but limited follow-through into real-world applications.
