perceptions of others in the field.
The SIGCOMM Award is presented to Dr. Mockapetris "in recognition of his
foundational work in designing, developing and deploying the Domain Name
System, and his sustained leadership in overall Internet architecture
development."
The past recipients are:
2004: Simon Lam,
The award to Simon Lam is in recognition of his vision, breadth, and
rigor in contributing to, among other areas: secure network
communication, the analysis of network and multiaccess protocols, the
analysis of queueing networks, and the design of mechanisms for
quality of service. The slides for his keynote address may be found
here, and a picture of his award can be seen here.
2003: David Cheriton,
For his contributions in data networking and systems, and for his
keen talent for questioning the assumptions behind all our work. The
slides for his keynote address may be found here.
2002: Scott Shenker,
The award to Scott Shenker is in recognition of his contributions to
Internet design and architecture, to fostering research
collaboration, and as a role model for commitment and intellectual
rigor in networking research.
2001: Van Jacobson,
The award to Van Jacobson is for contributions to protocol
architecture and congestion control.
A PDF version of Van's talk is available here.
2000: Andre Danthine,
The award to Andre Danthine is for basic contributions to protocol
design & modelling and for leadership in the development of computer
networking in Europe.
1999: Peter Kirstein,
