Showing papers in "Future Generation Computer Systems in 1985"

TL;DR: The paper outlines the components of second generation expert systems and gives an example of a heuristic reasoning system that can learn new rules by examining the results of deep reasoning.

TL;DR: This paper discusses problems of conventional conventional CAD systems, the feasibilities of future CAD systems that can really help designers very intelligently and efficiently and shows some results of the experimental systems applying knowledge engineering.

TL;DR: An outline of the architecture of a multiprocessor machine for deduction in first-order logic and its functional behavior, which fully exploits the parallelism inherent in the deductive process is given.

TL;DR: In this paper, appropriate generic machine data structure types are introduced, to provide the basis for the efficient representation and processing of arbitrary, application-oriented data types, and the resulting computer architecture is free of the Von Neumann bottleneck.

TL;DR: A Japanese National Project, called the "High-Speed Computing System for Scientific and Technological Use", is introduced in this paper and a summary of the current level of development in the supercomputers and in the related technologies in Japan is presented.

TL;DR: The structure of the Manchester dataflow hardware and software is described, and the system performance results so far obtained are outlined, and new avenues for hardware andSoftware development are suggested which are being followed at Manchester and elsewhere.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of military applications of expert systems in the areas of advanced visual target recognition, autonomous tactical vehicles, and combat pilot aid systems is presented, and several references are provided for each.

TL;DR: The first DoD/Industry STARS Program Conference as discussed by the authors was held in 1985 and brought together representatives of government, industry, and the academic community to review and discuss the STARS program and other components of the Software Initiative.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of medical imaging and image processing techniques in Japan during the last decade is presented, focusing on case studies in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases, and various problems of image processing of left ventricular images obtained from x-ray, ultrasound and radionuclides are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper examines VHLL architectures and VLSI architectures and their probable influences on Fifth Generation computers; the major problem for both architecture classes is parallelism; how to orchestrate a single parallel computation so that it can be distributed across an ensemble of processors.

TL;DR: The state of the art in visual terminals such as telewriting, facsimile and videotex in Japan is described, to stimulate wider dissemination of computers and non-voice communication, even to the private sector.

TL;DR: The digitalization and integration plan of NTT network facilities for telecommunications services and the telephone - network - Packet - network interworking system developed by NTT are described and future topics related to packet switching service are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed studies in Japan on data reduction of picture signals for a recent quater century, which cover redundancy reduction coding in digital area and bandwidth compression in analogue area, and the basic studies in early 70's and practical ones for new communication use in 80's.

TL;DR: This article presents an approach for the provision of nationwide access to supercomputers in the USA for the widespread sharing of such resources by geographically scattered research communities.
