My original concepts[15] underwent extensive change and enhancement because of the experiences gained and the close-knit team effort during development. Members of the GBT monitor and control team who have made significant contributions to the architecture are Joesph J. Brandt, J. M. Ford, Stephane Jouteux, Aron Benett, Timothy L. Weadon, and Robert Payne. Other contributors and advisors include Don Wells, Richard Lacasse, Roger Norrod, Ronald J. Maddalena, and Felix J. Lockman. I especially want to thank J. Richard Fisher and Geoff Croes, without whose confidence and invaluable insights, the project would have fallen far short of its goals.
