+In [Kujala, Lukka, "Rendering recognizably unique textures",
+to be published in Information Visualization'03 conference,
+preprint available on request], we introduced the use
+of procedurally generated unique background textures
+as a visualization of document identity.
 In this work, we are not using the GPU to try to obtain a specific
 appearance or effect.  Instead, we use the GPU to produce an infinite
 amount of different, novel textures, with the goal that they
 should be recognizable by users.

 In our approach, each document has
