Abstract
Artificial intelligence forms an intrinsic aspect of the competence of fifth generation computers in view of the need for them to be primarily knowledge processing systems. We analyses in this paper how this need for knowledge processing arises. In the main body of the paper various issues that arise in knowledge representation and use are discussed. The point of departure for these discussions is the recent work on expert systems. We point out the difference between tacit and propositionizable knowledge and argue the need for modeling tacit knowledge also in fifth generation computers. Keywords Artificial intelligence - fifth generation computers - knowledge processing - expert systems heuristics

Introduction
The development of the next generation of computer systems is characterized mainly by the acceptance of parallel processing. Until this time parallelism was limited to pipelining and vector processing, or at most to a few processors sharing jobs. The fifth generation saw the introduction of machines with hundreds of processors that could all be working on different parts of a single program. The scale of integration in semiconductors continued at an incredible pace - by 1990 it was possible to build chips with a million components - and semiconductor memories became standard on all computers Even the most enthusiastic home computer owners have little idea of the link their machines represent in the historical chain of computer technology. It is a chain that runs from the ancient abacus and Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine of the nineteenth century, through the Apples and Commodores of the present, all the way to the awe-inspiring fifth-generation computers of the future.

Fifth generation computing used in various fields Some of the examples are like this used in hospitals used in shopping malls used in banks used in toll plaza used in medicine used in factories used in colleges
