Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn are two key pioneers of "internetworks" (dating back to 1973), and ACM is particularly pleased to invite "all users of the Internet" to attend this year's ACM Turing Lecture by watching the live Webcast coverage of the lecture which will begin at 6:00 p.m. EST on Monday, August 22. (Ironically, this will be the first ACM Turing Lecture that is webcast live.)
