Talk:Fifth Generation Computer Systems

NPOV?

I'm not disputing the conclusions, but some of the language in this article doesn't seem exactly NPOV. --Chronodm 12:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i don't know if this is intended, but the follow-the-leader link directs to the page on the marching band move.Tobias087 01:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

The POV is slightly less that neutral. There are subtle cultural problems, and a degree of revisionism inherent in what has been written here. I can tell you that workstations were an afterthought in the period between 1982-1984. Architectural decisions in Japan at the time were more slant toward mainframes. The article is missing 2 of the 3 basic key ideas Moto-Oka and others took away with some the FCGS conference: 1) Data flow (Jack Dennis' ideas), 2) Prolog (which the article has, and I am not clear with Warren was at the meeting like Jack was), and I think, 3) Knowledge bases (Feigenbaum?). Those were starting ideas, but Moto-Oka's book should be examined for these. These were somewhat alarming at the time to USA-ians. Also the project should also not be confused with a similar Japanese superspeed project (Science article). I am not clear where I would begin editing minus Moto-Oka's book. --enm ~21:00, 8 Aug 2006 (UTC)

Page move

The first paragraph seems that the redirects and page title is wrong here: The Fifth Generation Computer Systems project (FGCS) was an initiative by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry, begun in 1982, to create a "fifth generation computer" (see history of computing hardware). This implies that this page should be called "Fifth Generation Computer Systems project" or something similiar, and that "Fifth generation computer" should point to "history of computing hardware". In fact, the other "nth generation computer" article already redirect to that article. Any thoughts?
