[Chapter-delegates] FW: [Staff] Global INET - Announcing Leonard Kleinrock as Keynotespeaker!

[Ted Mooney]

All,
We are thrilled to announce Professor Leonard Kleinrock as a keynote
speaker during the Opening Session of Global INET 2012. As a legendary
figure in Internet history, Dr. Kleinrock will present his unique
perspectives on the birth of the Internet, the formative period during its
early days, and the profound impact it now makes in our world.
 

The Opening Session at Global INET will set the tone for the conference,
and Dr. Kleinrock is an exciting addition to our program. His extraordinary
influence on the birth and evolution of the Internet makes him an ideal
keynote for the Global INET conference.
 

Leonard Kleinrock¹s contributions to the Internet began during his days as
a graduate student at MIT, where he developed the mathematical theory of
packet networks.  Following his arrival at University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA) in 1963, Dr. Kleinrock became involved in the ARPANET
project.  And it was in his UCLA laboratory on 29 October 1969 that he
directed the first transmission to pass over the Internet.

 
Dr. Kleinrock has served as a Professor of Computer Science at the
University of California, Los Angeles since 1963. During his vanguard
career, Dr. Kleinrock has authored more than six books and 250 papers,
founded corporations, and received countless awards and honors for his
significant contributions to science, engineering and the Internet.
 

Professor Kleinrock will present his keynote address on Monday 23 April
2012, during the Opening Session, 9:00 ­ 10:30.
