Abstract
A possibility of extending the scope of computers to aid human activity is discussed. Weak points of humans are discussed and a new information technology that can back up the human activity is proposed. It must be an intelligent system to enable a computer-led interactive system. A conceptual architecture of the system and then various technologies to make up the architecture are discussed. The main issues are; a modeling scheme to accept and represent wide area of problems, a method for externalizing human idea and of representing it as a model, a large knowledge base and generation of specific problem-solving system, autonomous problem decomposition and solving, program generation, integration of different information processing methods, and knowledge acquisition and discovery
