Abstract:	The article focuses on the history of the Fifth-Generation Computer System (FGCS) project. Japanese researchers proposed it in the late 1970s. The word generation characterizes progress in computer development, usually relating to advances in hardware and referring to the elements used in building the computers. ICOT (Institute for New Generation Computer Technologies) was founded as the core research institute of the Project in 1982 and closed in March 1995. There have been more than 100 research themes during the FGCS Project.
