| SPARC was
convened by Luc Anselin, Edward Feser, and Andrew
Isserman. They were brought to the University of
Illinois through the Faculty Excellence Program “to
provide scholarly leadership,” and they will provide the
initial energy and organizational effort to launch SPARC.
As a voluntary consortium, SPARC’s future and success
will depend on the interests and efforts of its members.
