International Conference on Fifth Generation Computer Systems 1992
Tokyo, Japan June 1-5, 1992
FGCS'92 is an international conference on fifth generation computer technology,
following on from FGCS'81, FGCS'84, and FGCS'88. It will be the final confer-
ence associated with the FGCS project. The conference will run for five days.
The first two days will be devoted mainly to reports of the FGCS project's
final results, and the last three days to technical sessions for presentation
of papers and related discussions.
The scope of the technical sessions encompasses the technical aspects of new
generation computer systems, particularly those that are within the framework
of knowledge information processing, logic programming and parallel architec-
tures. This conference is intended to promote interaction between researchers
in all disciplines related to fifth generation computer technology. Of
special interest are papers discussing the possibilities of large-scale paral-
lel knowledge information processing, and the future directions of new genera-
tion computing.
