# SPOT files

SPOT generates new design points (parameter settings for the SANN) by building a meta model. These designs are based on information provided by the user. These information has to be specified in the following files:

- CONF
- ROI
- APD

Detailed information about these desing generators is given in the tutorial Performing experiments in the SPOT environment, which can be downloaded from the workshop's web site. The following section present a short introduction into the automated tuning process.
