Panelists:

Robert E. Kahn (Corporation for National Research Initiatives, USA)

robertkahn Robert Kahn is President and CEO of Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), a non-profit organization focused on research and development for the national information infrastructure. He initiated the U.S. government’s Internet program and is co-creator with Vinton Cerf of the TCP/IP protocols, the fundamental technology underpinning the Internet. In his recent work, Dr. Kahn has been developing the concept of a Digital Object Architecture to provide a framework for interoperability across heterogeneous information systems. This work is being implemented in many applications such as the DOI System being developed by the International DOI Foundation. The numerous awards he has received include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Technology, the Japan Prize and the A.M. Turing Award. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the Inventors Hall of Fame.
