Has anyone out there had any contact with the Japanese Institute for New
Generation Computer Technology (which is running the Fifth Generation
Computer Project)? Since the the first rush of publicity when the project
was initiated, things have been fairly quiet (except for the somewhat
superficial book by Feigenbaum and a few papers in symposia), and it's a bit
hard to find out just how the project is progressing. I am especially
interested in talking to people who have visited INGCT recently and have met
with the people directly involved in the project. Thanks!

In case some of you are not on every junk mailing list known to man the way I am, there is a new international English-language journal with an all-Japanese editorial board called "New Generation Computing", published by Springer-Verlag, Journal Fulfillment Dept., 44 Hartz Way, Secaucus, NJ 07094. The price is even more outrageous than the stuff published by North Holland: vol.1 (2 issues) 1983, $52; vol.2 (4 issues) 1984, $104. Can anybody explain why so much AI literature (even by US authors) is published by foreign publishers at outrageous prices? I should have thought some US univerity press would get smart and get into the act in a bigger way. Lawrence Erlbaum seems to be doing a creditable job in Cognitive Science, but that's just one corner of AI. --Bruce
