Improvements to software product
Future Point Systems, based in Richland, Wash., has the next generation of its Starlight Visual Information Systems software. Future Point Systems originally licensed the Starlight software from Battelle based on visual informatics development work done at PNNL. Version 4.1 of the company's software platform includes enhanced entity extraction to analyze text and automatically detect people, places, companies, and concepts; a roaming license capability that enables users to share a pool of licenses; and an import plug-in creation wizard that enables users to create custom plug-ins from scratch to import data from various sources and then share the custom plug-ins with other users. A free trial of the software can be downloaded from the company's support forum. Registration is required. For more information, contact Rich Remington at (408) 419-4534.
