other technology is successfully meeting the requirements of such a broad
selection of customers in a fast changing market that demands rapidly
deployed solutions to extreme information challenges . Aungate's ability to identify both known and unknown
relationships in all enterprise communications is premised on Autonomy's
distinguished history in the intelligence community which Autonomy has been
serving since the company's foundation, culminating in the award of "single
supplier" status to the US government. From increasingly sophisticated simulation
of physics to advanced picture and video processing, this year's
program provides a full spectrum of topics and cutting-edge thinking .
According to Gross, such methods will soon become tools the public
utilizes to take their home videos to an entirely new level.

Solomon, CEO of DOAR: "We are excited to be working with
Autonomy and their solutions for compliance and litigation-related
information management for the enterprise . It is an excellent fit with our
law firm facing Inference product for regulatory and litigation analysis and
review.
"The SIGGRAPH Papers program constitutes the core of all SIGGRAPH
programs ," stated Markus Gross, SIGGRAPH 2005 Papers Chair from the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ."
According to Gross, three major trends are surfacing in the
research arena."
He concludes that a third trend points toward advanced image and
video processing. Salesin

L), a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise , today announced that Aungate's range of
real-time and automated compliance monitoring, eDiscovery and enforcement
technology solution demonstrations would previewed at the SIA Compliance and
Legal Division Seminar in Hollywood, Fla.
Founded on Autonomy's world renowned Intelligent Data Operating Layer
(IDOL), Aungate's real-time content analysis technology automatically
understands the content and interrelationships of all enterprise information
including email, IM and rich media including voice and video content.
Says Samuel H. A total of 461
submissions were received by the deadline and 98 Papers were selected
for presentation at SIGGRAPH 2005. He
concludes that this advancement , for instance, makes it possible to
alter and simulate the appearance of human faces photo-realistically .
"This is very important for the development of more realistic
games and will be supported by novel hardware architectures and
processing units to be released by the industry very soon," stated
Gross. Specifically, the public will soon experience a
variety of methods for panoramic stitching of videos, 3-D photo
creation, and intelligent and user-friendly editing of video.

Aungate's technology is
initiating a paradigm shift in meeting this apparently divergent set of
requirements with a single suite of products that integrate to provide a
seamless solution to meet compliance monitoring, eDiscovery and enforcement
requirements.
Given this development , novel camera and acquisition devices have been
created. He points out that various Papers
deal with simulation of the complex interaction of media, such as
liquids, smoke, or gas, and solid materials . He also notes that
various innovations make physics simulations interactive and real time
on personal computers.

Complex lighting and shading models are
becoming "data-driven" or based on samples from the real world.
A second trend that the Papers Chair noted is the increasingly
sophisticated simulation of physics. They permit
the simulation of novel and even more stunning visual effects and
might become tools to enhance the visual experience in second but next
