Coming to grips with a RISC: a report of the progress of the LOW RISC design group

The need for more than one person's effort to accomplish the work needed to formalize, gain acceptance for, fund and realize the LOW RISC led to the establishment of the LOW RISC Design Group at Arizona State University. Since the public presentation of the LOW RISC concept at the Third IEEE Symposium on Logic Programming in September 1986 an intensive effort to build the infra-structure necessary for this project has been underway, and is beginning to show results.
