Programming of Future Generation Computers II

The ten-year Japanese Fifth Generation Computer R&D project, managed by ICOT (the Institute for New Generation Computer Technology) began in 1982 with the aim of developing a new type of computer suitable for an information-oriented society. With the belief that it is essential to co-operate with researchers all over the world, ICOT has been promoting international research exchanges, including these top-level France-Japan symposia. This volume contains the papers presented by twelve French and twelve Japanese researchers at the second symposium. The following sessions were held: - fifth generation programming languages, methodologies and environments - models and programming languages for parallelism - automated deduction and symbolic computation - machine architectures dedicated to fifth generation languages - expert systems and natural language understanding systems.
