The computer scientist of USA

As a result of the Internet pioneer in the field of contributions in 2004 year, including Internet-based communications design and implementation of the agreement, TCP / IP protocol, and networking in the field of authoritative leadership and he obtained the Turing Award.

Founded in 1966 the Turing Award that the Turing Award is the computer industry¡¯s most prestigious award, "Nobel Prize of computer industry," said the only computer in the field of international qualifications, the most authoritative and outstanding achievements of scientists will be able to obtain from the United States Computer Society (ACM) presented the award.

Introduce of the Results:

Kahn received a doctorate from Princeton University in 1964 year. And he was working in Bell Labs a period of time, become the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Electronic Engineering an assistant professor. After that, Kahn joined the BBN network and is responsible for ARPANET (ARPANET) research and development work. ARPANET was the predecessor of the Internet, using a packet-switched network mechanism. ARPANET in the early stages, ARPANET Protocol is the NCP. Kahn and Vinton Cerf ? (Vinton Cerf) all together made a TCP / IP protocol.

TCP / IP protocol has become the modern Internet-based for communication. IP and TCP agreement of the two different functions, can also be used separately, but they are at the same time as an agreement to design, and is also a function of each other. Only a combination of the two in order to ensure the Internet in the complex environment of normal operation. Those who want to connect to the Internet computer must be installed at the same time and use of these two agreements, Therefore in reality the two are often collectively referred to the agreement for TCP / IP protocol.

Kahn has also guided through the process of standards and related activities continue to foster the development of the Internet in many years. Kahn founded the non-profit company CNRI (Corporation for National Research Initiatives) in 1986 year, to which the public interest, the Web-based information technology strategy for the development of the research.
