260.0. "IMKA =? CARNEGIE" by PRSUD1::MERCIER (Henri Mercier,SWAS Paris) Thu Dec 20 1990 12:28

On Dec 18th, we had a presentation by GSI-ERLI, the french 
representatives of Carnegie Group. They are positioning 
themselves as the leader and are disclosing informations
we don't have via the internal channels.

It's NOW time to get a clear DIGITAL statement about IMKA.

260.1The party line is.....HERON::ROACHTANSTAAFL !Wed Jan 02 1991 14:4524
    Unfortunately, when one is a member of a consortium, such as we are
    with IMKA, we do not have a lot of control over what other members of
    the consortium say and do. At the present time, Digital is taking a
    very conservative approach to publicity regarding IMKA. Hence, we are
    positioning ourselves as a member of IMKA to work with other large
    users of knowledge based technologies in addressing what we believe
    to be the real issues facing industry in this technology for the 90's;
    i.e., our initial involvement is internally oriented with no public
    product plans. We want to make sure that the goals of the program are
    1) achievable and 2) worthwhile once we test it internally on real
    world problems. This is the same approach which Digital has always
    followed in advanced technologies, a.k.a. OPS5.
    
    So, no matter what other members of the consortium might be saying
    right now, Digital's party line is exactly as stated in the August IMKA
    press release. I only have hard copy of the release, but I will send it
    to you upon request (YIPPEE::ROACH).
    
    Jack (SELECT::)Rahaim has volunteered to answer any specific question
    regarding IMKA and claims made by our partners.
