Abstract

Training of Artificial Neural Networks in a Distributed Environment is considered and applied to a typical example in High Energy Physics interactive analysis. Promising results showing a reduction of the wait time from 5 hours to 5 minutes obtained in a local cluster with 64 nodes are described. Preliminary tests in a wide area network studying the impact of latency time are described; and the future work for integration in a GRID framework, that will be carried in the CrossGrid European Project, is outlined.
