Abstract: This article discusses the key outcomes of Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) project. The decade-long FGCS project ended in June 1992 with mixed feelings about its outcome. On the one hand, the results do not measure up to the high expectations and fears the project's announcement generated. Furthermore, the results do not seem to generate much interest within the computer industry at this time. On the other hand, those who participated in the project, as well as those who followed closely its development through the years, do have a sense of achievement. The Fifth Generation project was unique and "a first" in many ways. It was the first national research project in Japan to embrace international collaboration and exchange. It was unique in making such an expensive and long-term commitment for specific basic research goals and for pursuing them consistently for the entire period. And it was the first project to make such a profound and large-scale commitment to logic programming as its conceptual and technical foundation.
