- New Information Processing Technology Workshop 31
- David K. Kahaner
-
- This workshop was organized to discuss aspects of a possible Japanese
- new 1O year program to follow the Fifth Generation Institute for New
- Generation Computer Technology program that is to end in 1992. A
- summary of the discussions is presented and some opinions about the
- directions that this program might take are given.

- Sverre Jarp
-
- The latest supercomputer systems offered by NEC, Fujitsu, and Hitachi
- and their operating systems and current installed base are described,
- with a comparison to the European supercomputer installed base. The
- author tries to predict what will happen in Europe in the large-scale
- computing area over the next few years and suggests how best to profit
- from the situation.

- INTRODUCTION.
- ONR's Scientific Information Bulletin (SIB) is a quarterly
- publication presenting articles covering recent developments in Far
- Eastern (particularly Japanese) scientific research. It is hoped that
- these reports (which do not constitute part of the scientific literature)
- will prove to be of value to scientists by providing items of interest
- well in advance of the usual scientific publications. The articles are
- written primarily by members of the staff of ONR Asia, with certain
- reports also being contributed by visiting stateside scientists.
- Occasionally, a regional scientist will be invited to submit an article
- covering his own work, considered to be of special interest. This
- publication is approved for official dissemination of technical and
- scientific information of interest to the Defense research community and
- the scientific community at large. A subscription is available free of
- charge to approved members of the DOD scientific community and others in
- the US. Non US scientists may obtain a subscription at nominal cost. For
- subscription information, send a written request to: Director, Office of
- Naval Research, Asian Office, APO San Francisco 96503-0007. For
- information about particular articles write to SIB Editor at the address
- above.
