Contemporary Systems and Cybernetics

The Newsletter of the Cybernetics Machine Group of the British Computer Society (30 November 1989) has given details of the group's activities. In this issue the Chairman gave an analysis of progress in the field over the past three years. A redefinition of aims and activities was proposed — a sharper focus by means of which even greater progress can be made. It concluded that the revised remit of the group can be nothing less than the discovery of the physical laws by means of which natural information processing, knowledge engineering and intelligence take place.
