Computer and Internet Pioneers to Speak at NSFTwo pioneers of computing and the Internet will speak on Tuesday, March 14, at the National Science Foundation (NSF). The talks will feature Vinton Cerf, senior vice president for Internet architecture and technology at MCI Worldcom, and William Arms, professor of computer science at Cornell University. Cerf is widely known as the "father of the Internet" and in 1997 received the U.S. National Medal of Technology for co- designing the TCP/IP protocol, the seminal computer-network language that is still in common use. The topic of Cerf’s talk is "The Future of the Internet," which will include a brief survey of its past. Arms is known for his innovative academic applications of computer networks and digital libraries. Before joining Cornell, he was the long-time head of computing at Dartmouth College, and later, Carnegie-Mellon University, where he helped pioneer campus-wide networking and distributed computing. He will speak on "Computer Science Research in Information-rich Applications." The presentations, hosted by NSF’s directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, are open to the public.
