Leonard Kleinrock Professor Leonard Kleinrock is Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at UCLA and a father of the Internet. Kleinrock developed the mathematical theory of packet networks, the technology underpinning the Internet, while a graduate student at MIT between 1960 and 1962. He wrote the first paper and published the first book on the subject; he also directed the transmission of the first message ever to pass over the Internet. In September 1969, the Internet was born in his laboratory when his Host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet. He was listed by the Los Angeles Times in 1999 as among the "50 People Who Most Influenced Business This Century". Kleinrock received the 2007 National Medal of Science, the highest honor for achievement in science bestowed by the President of the United States. The Medal was awarded "for fundamental contributions to the mathematical theory of modern data networks, for the functional specification of packet switching which is the foundation of the Internet Technology, for mentoring generations of students and for leading the commercialization of technologies that have transformed the world." Leonard Kleinrock received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1963 and has served as a Professor of Computer Science at UCLA since then, serving as Chairman of the department from 1991-1995. He was the first President and Co-founder of Linkabit Corporation, the co- founder of Nomadix, Inc., and Founder and Chairman of TTI/Vanguard, an advanced technology forum organization. He has published over 250 papers and authored six books on a wide array of subjects, including packet switching networks, packet radio networks, local area networks, broadband networks, gigabit networks, nomadic computing, performance evaluation, and peer-to-peer networks. During his tenure at UCLA, Dr. Kleinrock has supervised the research for 47 Ph.D. students and numerous M.S. students. These former students now form a core group of the world's most advanced networking experts. A great deal of Kleinrock’s historic and ongoing work has been conducted with support from the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation.

Changes in Languages and Student Population B. Introducing Alice C. Enrollment Data III. History Lesson: Significant People in Computing A. Paper B. PowerPoint C. Alice 1. Lesson Plan 2. Grading Rubric IV. Sample Projects: Screenshots and descriptions of Student Work I. Background I started my study of Computer Science in 1982 as a high school senior when I enrolled in a one semester course titled “Computer Programming.” It was taught by my math teacher and at first seemed like a very mystifying idea. We wrote programs in BASIC b y “bubbling in” punch cards. After completing the program, we took the stack of cards to the back of the room handing them to our teacher. He was the only one allowed to insert the cards into the card reader. The PDP-11 interpreted our program and if it ran successfully, the dot matrix printer printed a table of the whole numbers from one to ten and their squares. It was amazing. The strange thing about this description is that it brings back such fond memories for me. It was during this brief exposure to programming that I was hooked for life. This is what drives me on a daily basis to do the best I can to expose students to the fascinating world of programming. I graduated from UW-Whitewater in 1986 with a Major in Mathematics and a Minor in Computer Science.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

SALUTE to Graduates
VIRTUAL SALUTE TO Graduates THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2021, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2021, you are different. We stand at the cusp of a national return from the isolation, peril and social dislocation of the pandemic. We will, all of us, be marked by these dangerous years, by what we have come through and endured, but no less, by how we Vince Boudreau rise and respond. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge President underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work, study and graduate here—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that insists on each generation of graduates the responsibility of scanning the social and political landscape, and setting out to rectify that which seems unfair, unjust or inequitable. As an institution, we were made for this moment, a moment when the revival of so much that we hold dear requires the energy, insight and creativity of the whole people. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of advancing your vision of a strong and just society, as so many before you have done. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we revel with you in the pride of your accomplishment.

INDUSTRY STUDIES ASSOCATION WORKING PAPER SERIES Balancing Intrapreneurial Innovation vs. Entrepreneurial Spinoffs During Periods of Technological Ferment By Joel West Personal Computing Industry Center University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697 and Lucas Graduate School of Business San José State San José, California 95192 Caroline Simard Anita Borg Institute Palo Alto, CA 94304 2007 Industry Studies Association Working Papers WP-2007-32 http://isapapers.pitt.edu/ BALANCING INTRAPRENEURIAL INNOVATION VS. ENTREPRENEURIAL SPINOFFS DURING PERIODS OF TECHNOLOGICAL FERMENT Joel West, San José State Caroline Simard, Anita Borg Institute ABSTRACT The period immediately after a technological discontinuity allows an innovative startup to exploit a period of ferment and great uncertainty. Meanwhile, mature innovators must develop intrapraneurial capabilities to compete with these new entrants. Using multiple data sources, we examine the innovation capabilities of Linkabit, a firm that exploited the opportunities related to digital communications, and how those capabilities were transferred to informal spinoffs which formed at twice the rate of Fairchild Semiconductor. We discuss the contingent value of innovation capabilities for early stages in a technological regime, as well as the conflicting goals of intrapraneurial development vs. restraining entrepreneurial exodus. INTRODUCTION Discontinuous technological change enables new innovations and the associated goods and services. Such innovations often render obsolete the advantage of established incumbents, and thus creates entrepreneurial opportunities for new firms. At the same time, incumbents don’t voluntarily relinquish their lead to rivals. To cope with such change, a range of both normative and positivist research concludes that incumbents must encourage innovation, individual initiative, flexibility and decentralized authority. Much of the research on incumbent survival has focused on establishing both cultural and structural incentives for intrapraneurial activities.
