When the
Hopfield neural network converges successfully, channel scheduling with no conflict and low time delay can be achieved.
Among the topics are optical network optimization, monitoring devices for providing network intelligence in optical packet switched networks, energy efficient optical transport networks with mixed regenerator placement, topological design genetic algorithms, wavelength and routing assignment in all-optical networks using ant colony optimization, and
Hopfield neural networks for routing in communication networks.
In their well-known paper
Hopfield and Tank [10] introduced an analog neural network (known as the HNN) suitable for solving different constrained and computationally hard optimization problems--among others the well-known TSP problem.
The detection of lung cancer by using sputum color images was introduced in [9] where the authors presented unsupervised classification technique based on
Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) to segment the sputum cells into cancer and non cancer cells to be used in the diagnosis process.

Having shown that feed-forward networks could only perform tasks they were repetitively trained to do, we then introduced the principles of the
Hopfield network, a simple model of memory that allows unsupervised learning.
Using improved
Hopfield network, the above problem could be mapped to a dynamic circuit, and its solution may be obtained within circuit time-constant [2].
