NO ... IO does NOT utilize nn's ... It uses two types of 
artificially intelligent optimization techniques ... a genetic 
algorithm ( Differential Evolution ) ... and Particle Swarm.

IO will try to meet all goals simultaneously not in multiple steps 
or processes i.e. a multi-objective optimization.
