                     **** 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.
