      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.
