I'm fairly certain that Hongfei Li was the principle architect of this effort, so it might be worth tracking him down.  He started a blog on the topic, but apparently abandoned it when he left Wichita State [1].  The EndUser 2007 listing for the presentation includes a City University of Seattle [2] email address for him, but I don't want to post somebody else's email address to the list.
