4fb9d08492 In the late 1960s till the early 1970s, there was much talk about "generations" of computer hardware usually "three generations". A primary problem was the choice of concurrent logic programming as the bridge between the parallel computer architecture and the use of logic as a knowledge representation and problem solving language for AI applications. The project also suffered from being on the wrong side of the technology curve. Prior to the 1970s, MITI guidance had successes such as an improved steel industry, the creation of the oil supertanker, the automotive industry, consumer electronics, and computer memory. The use of logic to present problems to a computer. The era of miniaturization begins. ^ Shapiro E. Opinions about its outcome are divided: either it was a failure, or it was ahead of its time.
^ Van Emden, Maarten H., and Robert A. Logic programming was thought as something that unified various gradients of computer science (software engineering, databases, computer architecture and artificial intelligence). Includes pictures of prototype machines (broken, but available at archive.org The main page of the project. Logic programming approach as was characterized by Maarten Van Emden one of its founders as:[2]. doi:10.1109/MIS.2008.20. The FGCS project and its vast findings contributed greatly to the development of the concurrent logic programming field. In spite of the possibility of considering the project a failure, many of the approaches envisioned in the Fifth-Generation project, such as logic programming distributed over massive knowledge-bases, are now being re-interpreted in current technologies. The project imagined a parallel processing computer running on top of massive databases (as opposed to a traditional filesystem) using a logic programming language to define and access the data. The use of logic to express information in a computer. First generation: Machine language.
