The archive will be capable of holding the approximately 10,000 articles produced by MIT MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology authors annually, including a large amount of multimedia content. In addition to establishing its own research team at the university, HP Labs will provide the university with $1.8 million for the two-year project to cover staff, equipment and space. The system is expected to be able to begin accepting submissions late next year.
