A History of International Research Networking: The People who Made it Happen
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2010, Pages: 345
The first book written and edited by the people who developed the Internet, this book deals with the history of creating universal protocols and a global data transfer network. The result is THE authoritative source on the topic, providing a vast amount of insider knowledge unavailable elsewhere.
Despite the huge number of contributors, the text is uniform in style and level, and of interest to every scientist and a must-have for all network developers as well as agencies dealing with the Net.
The internet has, without doubt, changed the world more profoundly than any other technical development in the last decades. It originates from the needs of the scientific community to communicate large amounts of data in real time across incompatible computer networks on different locations. This book deals with the history of developing universal protocols and of building up the data transfer network not only in Europe but in the rest of the world as well. The contributors and editors are the very people who were responsible for the development of these networks. Extensively edited by Howard Davies, himself a former General Manager of DANTE, one of the main European networking organizations and Beatrice Bressan, a longtime communication expert at the CERN and at other research institutions, the text is very uniform in style and level given the large number of contributors.
