Laurels for Giving the Internet Its Language
By KATIE HAFNER

Late in the summer of 1973, two young scientists in the
nascent field of computer networks hunkered down in a
conference room of the Cabana Hyatt Hotel in Palo Alto,
Calif., a clean but bland stopping place for salesmen and the
parents of students at nearby Stanford University. Their goal
was to thrash out a way to make different, isolated computer
networks talk to each other.

They wrote, they sketched, they argued, all the while passing
a yellow legal pad back and forth to capture ideas as they
crystallized.

When they emerged two days later, they knew they had the
makings of a solid technical paper. What they did not know was
that they had created the essential underpinnings of today's
vast and sprawling Internet.

For the work that began on that yellow pad, the Association
for Computing Machinery plans to announce Wednesday that
Vinton G. Cerf and Robert E. Kahn will receive the 2004 A. M.
Turing Award, widely considered to be the computing field's
equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
