FGCS'92 - PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------
International Conference
on
Fifth Generation Computer Systems, 1992
Tokyo, Japan
1-5 June, 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 which 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 possibility of large-scale parallel
knowledge information processing, and the future direction of new generation
computing.
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
PROGRAM AREAS
Foundation
Concurrent/distributed/parallel computation
Theoretical foundations of logic programming and databases
Constructive/non-standard logic
Knowledge representation and reasoning
Automated reasoning
Cognitive modeling/learning
Philosophical foundations
Software
Logic/functional/object-oriented programming
Constraint programming
Deductive/object-oriented database
Concurrent/parallel programming
Reasoning about programs
Programming environments
Implementation techniques
