**** FGCS PROJECT ****
The Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Project, launched in
April, 1982, is planned to span about ten years. It aims at
realizing more user-friendly and intelligent computer systems
which incorporate inference and knowledge base management func-
tions based on innovative computer architecture, and at contri-
buting thereby to future society. The Institute for New Genera-
tion Computer Technology (ICOT) was established as the central
research institute of the project. The ICOT Research Center be-
gan its research activities in June, 1982 with the support of
government, academia and industry.
