In the summer of 1973, two young scientists began to find a way to communicate between their respective machines in the new computer network. They argued that they kept draft on the same yellow notebook until they summed up a feasible plan and wrote a papers. However, they didn't know when they could have a great Internet. According to their work on the notebook, the US Computer Alliance announced on Wednesday that decided to make the Nobel Prize in the computers - 2004 Tuling Award and Windnton · G · Thuff (Figure Right) and Robert E · Card Well (left), the bonus is $ 100,000.
David Patson, Chairman of the League, California University Berkeley, said that "the success of the Internet contains many people's credits, and Wente and Bob create a language for the Internet." If the notebook is still, it is still It will become treasures that collectors compete for collection. In fact, the issue of the previous issuance of the two-person "Packet Network Interconnect Agreement" will be appointed in a computer scientific papers in next Wednesday, estimated value in 2000-3,000 .
Dr. Kahn, 66, and Dr. Thorv, working with Watson Crek, and jointly created a series of computer networks to intend to expand and enhance the standard, and Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP / IP). The transmission control protocol defines the standards that divide the data into a datagram in network transmission, and the Internet protocol defines how to encapsulate data newspapers, record the destination address and send it on the network. Patterson said that the association has been cautious, and the two doctors' award is because of the Internet agreement, not the Internet itself, and therefore does not involve the debate of the founder of the Internet. And this is also the first time I have been issued in the field of computer network since 39 years.
Everyone admitted that Dr. Karn and Dr. Thuff were invented by these agreements, but the industry arguing in the industry was the most important inventions in the birth process of the Internet. One of the most striking in the decade, as a packet switching technology of the L'Ardo Krello in California, Los Angeles, how to divide the information to be transmitted into a small packet, respectively, sent to the purpose Land, resume again to raw information. However, in the case of Dr. Kelelock, the inventors of packet switching technology have been recognized as Paul Baran and Donald Davis, and the latter has died in 2000.
In recent years, the Internet predecessor Arpanet, Lawrence G. Roberts, has been supporting Dr. Klelock. When Arpanet was established at the end of the University of California at the end of the 2009th, Dr. Thuff worked in Dr. Klelock in the University of California, and he knows the root of these debates. He said, I hope this award will not let colleagues are angry. "Especially Larry and Kronlock), they firmly believe that their work plays a key role in the Internet. Every time someone mentions me and Bob, they think that they should be mentioned at the same time." This is not the first time for the first time, in 1997, they received the national technical medal, and in 2001, four people won the Charles Stark Draper Award.
Dr. Thuff and Dr. Karn's first working was in the 1969 Arpanet studio. In 1973, they completed their papers to explain their views. At this point, Dr. Thuff has begun to teach at Stanford University, while Dr. Karn is working in the US Department of Defense for the US Department of Defense for ARPANET.
Dr. Karn recalled that they wanted to start from the agreement standard. "After a few minutes, he said, 'I don't know how to start.' So I said, 'Hey, give me a pen.' Then I wrote about 10 pages. He said, 'put it to me.' And continue Write down. "They rushed to decide who the name of the Wen Department, Dr. Thuff won. His secretary hit his handwritten papers, and the original was not found. Kahn said a little regret: "Wente did not tell her how to deal with it, so she may throw it out." Dr. Thuff believes that their agreement quickly and widely supported because they did not apply for patents. Although this invention has launched a professional path, they did not have a penny. "This is an open standard, anyone can use, not limited to a loss." He felt "very surprised" on the development of the Internet, and then added, "I want anyone working in the railway or power plant." After the establishment of an infrastructure, there will be the same feeling. "He is also very realistic about his attitude towards its own value. "We can create tools, but there is no right to regulate what people should do." (Compiling Zhang Linan)
