------------------------------- FGCS'92 - CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------- !! ATTENTION !! Restriction for paper length has been changed from the preliminary call for papers posted in January. Please read PAPER SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS carefully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ------------- PROGRAM AREAS ------------- Foundations Concurrent / distributed / parallel computation Theoretical foundations of logic programming and databases Constructive / non-standard logics Knowledge representation and reasoning Automated reasoning Cognitive modeling / learning Philosophical foundations Architectures Parallel architectures Parallel implementation techniques Performance modeling / evaluation Knowledge base machines Inference machines Software Logic / functional / object-oriented programming Constraint programming Deductive / object-oriented databases Concurrent / parallel programming Reasoning about programs Programming environments Implementation techniques Applications / Social Impacts Natural language / Speech Vision / Robotics Knowledge-based systems Database applications Large-scale parallel applications Social impacts of FGCS Future directions of new generation computing ------------------------------ ORGANIZATION OF THE CONFERENCE ------------------------------ Steering Committee Chairperson: Kazuhiro Fuchi, ICOT Conference Chairperson: Hidehiko Tanaka, The University of Tokyo Conference Vice-Chairperson: Koichi Furukawa, ICOT Program Chairperson: Hozumi Tanaka, Tokyo Institute of Technology Program Vice-Chairpersons: Makoto Amamiya, Kyushu University Shigeki Goto, NTT Corporation Fumio Mizoguchi, Science University of Tokyo Publicity Chairperson: Kinko Yamamoto, JIPDEC Publicity Vice-Chairperson: Kunio Murakami, Kanagawa University Demonstration Committee Chairperson: Takashi Kurozumi, ICOT Demonstration Committee Vice-Chairperson: Shunichi Uchida, ICOT ----------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------- Authors should send six copies of manuscripts to: Professor Hozumi Tanaka FGCS'92 Program Chairperson ICOT, Mita Kokusai Bldg. 21F 4-28 Mita 1-chome, Minato-ku Tokyo 108, Japan Papers must be received by October 1, 1991.
