[comp.ai] parallel inference mechanism

daniel@vmucnam.UUCP (Daniel Lippmann) (03/18/88)

In an article "a new parallel inference mechanism based on
sequential processing", published in the IFIP-86 based book
"Fifth generation computer architecture" (J.V Woods edit.)
the authors refer to the so called " KABU-WAKE " method.
Does anybody heard of this method and can explain how and
where learn about it ?
the authors were :
-Yukio Sohma, Ken Satoh, Kouichi Kumon, Hideo Hasuzawa and
Akihino Itashiki from the A.I Fujitsu laboratory.
Once more does anybody know if it possible to contact them ?
thanking everybody in advance

There are (at least) two reports from ICOT on the KABU-WAKE method
for parallel inference: 
	TM-0131, july 1985: A New Parallel Inference Mechanism Based
	on Sequential Processing,
	Y. Sohma, K. Satoh, K. Kumon, H. Masuzawa and A. Itashiki.

	TR-150, March 1986: KABU-WAKE: A New Parallel Inference Method and
	Its Evaluation,
	K. Kumon, H. Masuzawa, A. Itashiki, K. Satoh and Y. Sohma.
