Utilika Foundation:
Utilika Foundation was established in 2004 to advance the philosophy, science, and technology of communication and collaboration among diverse human and artificial agents. The foundation has decided to focus on strategies that adapt natural languages to achieve ambiguity-controlled and automatically tractable meaning representation and communication in the Semantic Web and other world-scale human-machine multiagent systems. During early 2005, the foundation is seeking an institution to serve as the target of the foundation's support and the site of the supported work. The support available to this institutional partner will be in the range of $2 million to $3 million. Details are at the foundation's Web site.
