November 9th - Massively Parallel Processing in Japan --
               Striking Win - Win Partnerships Through Joint 
               Development!

Japan's Fifth Generation Project  involved Artificial Intelligence and 
Massively Parallel Processing; the Real World Computing Initiative 
is the follow-on program. Their Intelligent Manufacturing Systems 
program would create "flexible factories using computers and robots 
to instantly modify assembly operations at plants around the world". 
And the Japanese have offered to share research, development, and 
funding with U. S. and European enterprises to bring these 
endeavors to fruition. Professor Robert Burmeister, director of the 
U.S. - Japan Technology Management Center at Stanford 
University will present a detailed view of these two important 
programs, the concomitant ground floor joint venture/entrepreneurial 
opportunities, and the political obstacles that have stalled them.

The meeting will take place at 7:30 PM at Sun Microsystems at 901 
South San Antonio Road in Mountain View, California. 
Southbound travelers exit 101 at San Antonio; northbound attendees 
also exit at San Antonio and take the overpass to the other side of 
101. There is an $8 visitor fee for non-members and members ($40 
per year) will be admitted free.

Please be prompt; we expect a capacity attendance; don't be left out 
or left standing.
