Introduction The Research Institute for Advanced Information Technology (AITEC) was established in the Japan Information Processing Development Center (JIPDEC) as one of its sub-organizations. One of its roles is the dissemination of the Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Technology which was developed through Japanese national projects, ``Fifth Generation Computer Systems Project (1982 - 1992)", and ``FGCS Follow-on Project (1993 - 1995)". To realize this purpose, AITEC distributes the software (IFS: ICOT Free Software) which was developed in these two national projects. It also maintains the software, and promotes development of new software related to IFS. Through those activities, it intends to expand and disseminate parallel symbol processing and knowledge processing technologies. AITEC started offering contract research projects in FY 1995 by the support of The Mechanical Social Systems Foundation, with the aim of software resources in the field of parallel symbol processing and knowledge processing. This contract research project will be continued untill FY 1998. This announcement informs you of ``call for proposals" to contract research project which supports research and development software for parallel symbol processing and/or parallel processing as its central technology.
