   Hi,   
      
   I was the research manager at AAII, which was indeed based in Melbourne.   
   It no longer exists, except on paper.  It was a not-for-profit enterprise   
   which shut down in about 1999 in order to reinvent itself as the company   
   Agentis Software, which is based in the USA but still has a big office in   
   Melbourne.  The connection with MU was mainly research collaborations,   
   but AAII was also officially an affiliate of the university which meant   
   it could cosupervise grad students, etc.  I think there's 3 of us from   
   AAII at Agentis.  The former director Mike Georgeff is at Monash U in   
   Melbourne, and other former staff formed the company Agent Oriented   
   Software, also in Melbourne.   
      
   Feel free to contact me via email if I can help you further.   
   David
