Several people have helped make my goal to build this rankings web site a reality. Xiaojun Zhang, a PhD candidate at the University of Arkansas, has served as the project manager and tirelessly supervised and coordinated much of the work of several people in addition to designing the database, automating the process of data entry and enhancing the data consistency. Frank Chan, a PhD candidate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed the extensive functionality provided on the site. Jaime Newell, a PhD candidate at the University of Arkansas, designed the user interface and significantly helped with the data verification effort.

Many contributed to the data entry (past and present) and some aspects of the web application design: Abdul Asim, Shalini Balerao, Archana Bhattaram, Mingyu Li and Yutao Zhang. In the early phases of the project, Hillol Bala, now an assistant professor at Indiana University and a PhD graduate of the University of Arkansas, contributed to the analysis and design.
