Tim Berners-Lee,<\/a><\/strong> the researcher who invented the World Wide Web and is one of the world\u2019s most influential voices for online privacy and government transparency, has won the most prestigious honor in computer science, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) A.M.

ACM cited Berners-Lee for \u201cinventing the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the web to scale.\u201d This year marks the 50th anniversary of the award. A principal investigator at MIT\u2019s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Berners-Lee conceived of the web in 1989 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as a way to allow scientists around the world to share information with each other on the internet. He introduced a naming scheme (URIs), a communications protocol (HTTP), and a language for creating webpages (HTML). His open-source approach to coding the first browser and server is often credited with helping catalyzing the web\u2019s rapid growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to receive an award like the Turing that has been bestowed to some of the most brilliant minds in the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tim Berners-Lee<\/strong><\/a> is founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which sets technical standards for web development, as well as the World Wide Web Foundation, which aims to establish the open web as a public good and a basic right. He also holds a professorship at Oxford University. As director of CSAIL\u2019s Decentralized Information Group, Berners-Lee has developed data systems and privacy-minded protocols such as \u201cHTTP with Accountability\u201d (HTTPA), which monitors the transmission of private data and enables people to examine how their information is being used. He also leads Solid (\u201csocial linked data\u201d), a project to re-decentralize the web that allows people to control their own data and make it available only to desired applications.<\/p>\n

While Berners-Lee was initially drawn to programming through his interest in math, there was also a familial connection: His parents met while working on the Ferranti Mark 1, the world\u2019s first commercial general-purpose computer. Years later, he wrote a program called Enquire to track connections between different ideas and projects, indirectly inspiring what later became the web.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim\u2019s innovative and visionary work has transformed virtually every aspect our lives, from communications and entertainment to shopping and business\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tim Berners-Lee<\/strong><\/a> has received multiple accolades for his technical contributions, from being knighted by Queen Elizabeth to being named one of TIME<\/em> magazine\u2019s \u201c100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.\u201d He will formally receive the Turing Award during the ACM\u2019s annual banquet June 24 in San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
