Welcome to The Definite Article

Hi!

My name is Russ Lankenau, and I'm a software engineer for SSS Research, Inc. in Naperville, IL.  I'm currently the technical lead for the team building iSpace, a Web 2.0 portal designed for geospatial analysis and visualization.  Previously, I worked on DECIDE, a structured argumentation tool designed to be an analyst's workbench for developing and saving arguments.  DECIDE came in second in the corporate category in the IEEE VAST 2006 Contest.

This is my personal bit-bucket for thoughts on computer science, technology, and anything else that comes to mind.  I also post on the iSpace blog at http://ispace-blog.sss-research.com.
