Engenium Provides Northrop Grumman's California Microwave Systems' Defense Messaging System With Conceptual Search Capabilities.Business/High Tech/Government Editors DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2002 - California Microwave Systems Integrates Engenium's Semetric Technology Into Decision Agent Engenium, Inc., developers of Semetric(tm), the concept-based intelligent information retrieval information retrieval Recovery of information, especially in a database stored in a computer. Two main approaches are matching words in the query against the database index (keyword searching) and traversing the database using hypertext or hypermedia links. software for knowledge management, Human Resource systems, messaging and document management solutions, today announced that Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) is an aerospace and defense conglomerate that is the result of the 1994 purchase of Grumman by Northrop. The company is the third largest defense contractor for the U.S. Corporation's (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : NOC (Network Operations Center) A central or regional location for monitoring a large network. Also called a "network management center" (NMC), "service management center" (SMC) or "network control center" (NCC), a NOC may be used to manage a large enterprise network, ) California Microwave Systems business unit, developer of a Defense Messaging System Software that provides an electronic mail delivery system. It is made up of the following functional components, which may be packaged together or independently. Mail User Agent (DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management. (2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. ) product called The "Decision Agent", has integrated Semetric intelligent information retrieval technology into its product. Northrop Grumman's Decision Agent is designed to support enterprise DMS messaging for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) applications. Engenium's Semetric technology has been embedded into Decision Agent as the search component. Semetric is a powerful intelligent information retrieval technology developed by Engenium and based on the Company's years of cross-discipline research. Using a proprietary blend of Machine Learning and other high-level mathematical models such as Vector Space Modeling and dynamic indexing to create an associative, almost human-like understanding of documents of any format or content, Semetric is the next-generation of conceptual matching technology. "We chose Semetric to provide conceptual retrospective search within Decision Agent," said John Bicknas, Director of New Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at California Microwave Systems. "Semetric is a key part of this enterprise wide system that will be operating 24x7 at the Pentagon and other DoD agencies analyzing information from every corner of the world. It is a mission critical system that is paramount to the war fighter." "Engenium is excited to have been chosen to be part of the most powerful and versatile messaging system on the market today. By using our technology, Northrop Grumman is providing a dimensionality to defense messaging that is not only a quantum leap beyond keyword, but simply not possible using other, more traditional search and retrieval technologies," said Dave Copps, President and co-Founder of Engenium. Historically, information retrieval from structured and unstructured documents has been limited to keyword searches. Engenium's Semetric works by mapping relationships between each word and very other word in large sets of documents. This association of words based on the context in which they are used creates a form of numeric "meaning" and "understanding" for the software. DMS enables the collection of all DoD messaging hardware, software and procedures into a system organized to meet all DoD messaging requirements, while employing internationally recognized, modern messaging technologies, such as cross domain auditing. Decision Agent consists of California Microwave Systems' Communications Gateway System (CGS CGS centimeter-gram-second system. CGS or cgs abbr. centimeter-gram-second system.
