Background material for this article came from a study prepared for JETRO / MITI [29] , and in turn was based on many published resources as well as on discussions with wonderful people that I have encountered in my work and studies. Work on mediation in general was supported by DARPA for many years. The research focusing on articulation is being supported by AFOSR under the New World Visions initiative and by DARPA's DAML project.
