Published: 01 January 1986 Publication History

Abstract

This paper gives a precis of the sixth-generation computing systems research proposal, Promotion of Research and Development on electronics and Information Systems That May Complement or Substitute for Human Intelligence. The proposal was requested by the Japanese Ministry of Science and Technology in January 1983, prepared by the Subcommittee on Artificial Intelligence of The Council for Aerospace, Electronics and Other Advanced Technologies, and submitted in March 1985. It proposes an interdisciplinary research program on the nature of human intelligence involving physiology, psychology, linguistics, logic and computer science.
