Leonard Kleinrock, distinguished professor of computer science and one of the world’s foremost internet pioneers, was awarded the UCLA Medal, the campus’s highest honor, for his remarkable contributions in providing the intellectual foundation for the modern technical age.
Leonard Kleinrock,计算机科学的杰出教授和世界上最重要的互联网先锋之一,被授予加州大学洛杉矶分校奖章,该校的最高荣誉,他在为现代技术时代提供智力基础方面做出了卓越的贡献。
The medal is given to those with exceptionally distinguished academic and professional achievement and whose bodies of work or contributions to society illustrate the highest ideals of UCLA. Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, UCLA alumna and former astronaut Dr. Anna Lee Fisher and basketball coaching legend John Wooden have been among the recipients.
奖章颁发给那些在学术和专业上有杰出成就的人,他们的工作或对社会的贡献体现了加州大学洛杉矶分校的最高理想。美国总统Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley,加州大学洛杉矶分校校友、前宇航员Anna Lee Fisher博士和篮球教练传奇人物John Wooden都是获奖者。
Kleinrock’s enduring curiosity of how one could best apply scientific principles to design and build structures was first spurred as a young boy when he built a crystal radio from a description in a Superman comic. His fascination with electronics led him to attend The City College of New York and earn a degree in electrical engineering entirely at night. He went on to earn master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering from MIT.
Kleinrock对如何将科学原理最好地应用于设计和建造结构的长期好奇,最初是在他还是个小男孩的时候,他根据超人漫画中的描述建造了一台水晶收音机。他对电子的迷恋使他进入了纽约城市学院,并在晚上获得了电子工程学位。他接着在麻省理工学院获得电机工程硕士和博士学位。
In 1962, as a graduate student, Kleinrock developed the mathematical theory of packet-switching, the technology that underpins the internet. A year later, he joined the faculty at UCLA where his efforts have benefited the public well beyond the demands of academic tradition.
1962年,作为一名研究生,Kleinrock发展了分组交换的数学理论,这是支撑互联网的技术。一年后,他加入了加州大学洛杉矶分校的教师队伍,他的努力远远超出了学术传统的要求,造福了公众。
At UCLA, Kleinrock’s mathematical theory was put into practice on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s fledgling Arpanet network, the precursor to today’s internet.
在加州大学洛杉矶分校,Kleinrock的数学理论在国防高级研究计划局(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)刚刚起步的阿帕网(Arpanet network)上得到了应用,阿帕网是当今互联网的前身。
As a result of his theoretical understanding of computer networks, Kleinrock was appointed principal investigator of the UCLA Arpanet project and received the first Interface Message Processor — a router the size of a large refrigerator — at his lab at 3420 Boelter Hall, where it remains today. His SDS Sigma 7 host computer became the first node on the Arpanet in September 1969, and he directed the transmission of the first internet message from UCLA to the Stanford Research Institute on Oct. 29, 1969.
由于他对计算机网络的理论理解,Kleinrock被任命为UCLA Arpanet项目的首 席研究员,并在他位于3420 Boelter Hall的实验室接收到了第一个接口消息处理器——一个大冰箱大小的路由器,该处理器至今仍在那里。他的SDS-Sigma 7主机于1969年9月成为Arpanet上的第一个节点,并于1969年10月29日将第一条互联网信息从加州大学洛杉矶分校传送到斯坦福研究所。
“Len is a treasured and enthusiastic member of UCLA’s faculty. His extraordinary work that helped lay the foundation for today’s internet is a tremendous point of pride for our campus,” said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block. “The entire UCLA community has been made better by Len’s intellectual rigor and leadership.”
“Len是加州大学洛杉矶分校的一名宝贵而热情的教师。加州大学洛杉矶分校校长Gene Block说,他为今天的互联网奠定了基础的非凡工作对我们的校园来说是一个巨大的自豪点。“莱恩在学术上的严谨和领导使整个加州大学洛杉矶分校的社区变得更好。”
Kleinrock has received eight honorary degrees, published more than 250 papers, and authored six books on packet-switching networks, broadband networks, performance evaluation, wireless network technology and peer-to-peer networks that have helped advance the fields of engineering and computer science.
Kleinrock获得了8个荣誉学位,发表了250多篇论文,并撰写了6本书,内容涉及分组交换网络、宽带网络、性能评估、无线网络技术和对等网络,这些都有助于推动工程和计算机科学领域的发展。
“Thanks to Len, UCLA became the birthplace of the internet,” said Jayathi Murthy, the Ronald and Valerie Sugar Dean of UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. “His brilliant research, service and teaching have truly benefited our faculty, students, alumni and the entire engineering community.”
“多亏了Len,加州大学洛杉矶分校成为了互联网的发源地,”Jayathi murthy 说,加州大学洛杉矶分校萨谬里工程学院的 ronald 和 valerie sugar 院长。他出色的研究、服务和教学工作使我们的师生、校友和整个工程界受益匪浅。
On the 50th anniversary of the internet, Kleinrock was presented the key to the City of Los Angeles from Mayor Eric Garcetti, the fourth recipient of such an honor during the Garcetti administration.
在互联网诞生50周年之际,市长Eric Garcetti向Kleinrock赠送了通往洛杉矶市的钥匙,这是加塞蒂执政期间第四位获得这一荣誉的人。
Among Kleinrock’s additional accolades are the 2007 National Medal of Science, the highest honor for achievement in science bestowed by the president of the United States, the L.M. Ericsson Prize, the Marconi Prize, the Okawa Prize, the NAE Charles Stark Draper Prize and the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award. He is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Inventors and an inaugural member of the Internet Hall of Fame.
Kleinrock的额外荣誉包括2007年国家科学奖章、美国总统授予的科学成就最高荣誉、L.M.爱立信奖、马可尼奖、Okawa奖、NAE查尔斯·斯塔克·德雷珀奖和BBVA知识前沿奖。他还是美国国家工程院、美国艺术与科学院、美国国家发明家学会的成员,也是互联网名人堂的创始成员。
