PROGRESS OF FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTER DURING NEXT 1& YEARS OUTLINED
- Tokyo DENN~A SHIMBUN in Japanese 9 Dec 80 p~ 1 _
[Summary of a report by the Japan Information Processing Development Association;
"The Fifth Generation Computer; Develogment of a Prototype--Attainment in the Early
90's"]
[Text] On 28 November the Japan Inforv,iation Processing Development Association, Inc.
held a conference on "Fifth Generatian Computers: Their Needs and Developmental
Problems--Interim Report and Discussion" at the Machinery Promotion Association
Building. Based on its plan for the development of a new camputer system (the f ifth
generation c rnnputer), which is projected to be in practical use in the 1990's, the
Ministry of International Trade and Industry [MITI] has established the Fifth Gener-
ation Computer Research Stady Committee (chairman--Tatsu Motooka, professor in the
Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Eagineering, Tokyo Univereity)
within the Association. At the conference, the co~ittee made an interim report on
the accomplistiments of reseaa~ch and investigations now in p:-ogress. At this con-
ference, each of three divisions, (1) The System Generation Technology Research
Division chairman--Raratsu Hajime, Executive Director, Matsushita Communication
Industrial Co., (2) Basic Theory Research Division (T Divi~ion, chairman--Kazuhiro
Fuchi, chief of the Pattern Information Division, '?.ectrotechnical Laboratory), and
(3) The Architecture Research Divisiori (A Division, chairman--Hideo Aiso, professor
~ of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineer:'Lng, Keio Universir_y), made its own
interim report and introduced the outlines of the fifth generation computer.
_ Development of High Speed Support Machines Based on the New Architecture
In the world computer industry IBM has held the Ieadership to the pi~sent, and the
greatest task has been how to compete with IBM. Aowever, at least jn the-hardware
aspect, domestic computer makers have achieved a technical level tha.t can stand com-
parison with IBM. Consequently, it has become necessary for domestic makers to inde-
pendently establish their targets for the next step and to manufacture tr.e equipment
themselves. This fifth generation computer system takes as its ob3ective "a new
computer system that overcomes the technical limitations of present computers and
copes with the high level functions required in the 1990's, and that is based on ~
innovative theory and technology." Specifically, the aim is to complete the develop-
ment of a prototype by the early 1990's through each step of research and development
of constituent technology and trial design of the system.

Here is an introduction to the "story" until the 1990's.
F
= Basic Theory Research Division
The configuration of the f inal targets for the fifth gen~ration computer will be
determined on the basis of the achievements of res~arch attained by 1985. By 1990,
the construction of the more sophisticated interim target prototype machine, ad~ust-
ment between each sub-system, construction of the hardware system, and integration
oi the system will be completed.
Basic Software System
Configuration of the suppor t system for the design and construction of the knowledge
base, the final configuration of the intellectual progra~ing system, and the final
configuration of the system description language are to be determined, and necessary _
hardware will be produced accordingly.
Basic Applied Software System
In the case of the "speed recognition system" and the "diagram and image recognition -
system," necessary hardware will be produced and their functions are to be improved
to a high degree. In the case of the "natural language comprehension system," a
largQ-scale Japanese language dictionary and sentence structure rule base are to be ~
compiled, and subsequently second phase targets are to be set. For tbe "machine
translation system, coverage of the vocabulary is to be expanded with the focus on
the strengthening of the function of analyzing meaning of words and sentences and
the second phase target system will be realized. In the case of the "knowledge
� utilization system" and the "signal recognition system," improvement of performance
is to be attempted by prov iding the systems high level knowledge and learning
functions, and only af ter this are the second phase target systems to be produced.
Architecture Research Division
(1) Based on a new architecture, emphasis will be placed on development of machines
that support deductive computation at high speed. By making these new machines the
core and expanding the network of dispersed function systems completed by that time,
speeds fast enough to be able to utilize the software for processing knowledge and
information (the fifth generation software) are to be obtained. Machines based on
the new structure will be connected with this network, and evaluation and the
development of software will be carried out. .
(2) Most of the parts for these machinee wiil be converted to very large scale
integration.
- (3) A local network poxtion of the dispersed function network completed by approxi-
mately 1985 will grow aiid expand int~ a network that takes as its core machines based
on the new architecture. In addition to primary cities in Japan, the network is to
be connected with overseas points as well.
