• C++ classes, which are embedded in the NEST infrastructure • Requires deep knowledge in neuroscience, C++ and NEST • Error prone, repetitive, not concise • Maintenance intensive
➢ Developed the NEST Modelling Language (NESTML) • A domain specific language with clean and concise syntax • Describe neuron and synapse models with neuroscience concepts • Describe dynamics as a set of ODE or in an imperative way • Supports the modeler with syntactic and semantic checks for plausible
models
