Larry Roberts (December 21, 1937 – December 26, 2018) was an American computer scientist and Internet pioneer.. As a program manager and later office director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Roberts and his team created the ARPANET using packet switching techniques invented by British computer scientist Donald Davies and American engineer Paul Baran.
The ARPANET was related to many other research projects, which either influenced the ARPANET design, were ancillary projects, or spun out of the ARPANET. Senator Al Gore authored the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 , commonly referred to as "The Gore Bill", after hearing the 1988 concept for a National Research Network ...
Other participants in the NWG developed these application-level protocols, TELNET and FTP. [nb 4] [18] [19] Since lower protocol layers were provided by the IMP-host interface, NCP essentially provided a transport layer consisting of the ARPANET Host-to-Host Protocol (AHHP) and the Initial Connection Protocol (ICP). AHHP defined procedures to ...
He wrote a file transfer program called CPYNET to transfer files through the ARPANET. [19] Tomlinson was asked to change a program called SNDMSG, which sent messages to other users of a time-sharing computer, to run on TENEX. [20] He added code he took from CPYNET to SNDMSG so messages could be sent to users on other computers—the first email ...
Leonard Kleinrock was born in New York City on June 13, 1934, to a Jewish family, [3] and graduated from the noted Bronx High School of Science in 1951. He received a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree in 1957 from the City College of New York, and a master's degree and a doctorate (Ph.D.) in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT ...
Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider (/ ˈ l ɪ k l aɪ d ər /; March 11, 1915 – June 26, 1990), known simply as J. C. R. or "Lick", was an American psychologist [3] and computer scientist who is considered to be among the most prominent figures in computer science development and general computing history.
PDP-10 systems on the ARPANET highlighted in yellow. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)'s PDP-10, later marketed as the DECsystem-10, is a mainframe computer family [1] manufactured beginning in 1966 [2] and discontinued in 1983.
He proposed the use of the technology in the ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, at the inaugural Symposium on Operating Systems Principles in 1967. During the 1970s, he was a major figure in the International Network Working Group through which he was an early contributor to concepts used in the Transmission Control Program which became ...
