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.
