                            - According to the IEEE Xplore and Web of Science search engines (keywords used: EUP, FPGA, ANN), the paper is the only one to apply the end-user programming (EUP) concepts when designing FPGA implementable neural networks. The paper findings have helped in creating a reliable environment that allows the non-hardware engineers to design FPGA implementable ANNs. 
The research methodology constitutes a novel approach and its findings set a reference for researchers who seek not only the development of a hardware abstraction layer for FPGA ready NNs design but the embedding of the human interaction factor in the design process as well.
