The high-level plan for LINK was conceived discussed by the four primary investigators: Nathanial Dean, Mark Goldberg, Greg Shannon, and Steven Skiena. They established guidelines describing the system's capabilities [2], obtained the necessary funding and assembled the teams responsible for the implementation. The coordinator of the project, and one of the primary designers and developers is Dr. Jonathan Berry.
