Paul V. Mockapetris, Chairman and Chief Scientist at Nominum Inc., is  
the
winner of the 2005 ACM SIGCOMM Award.

The SIGCOMM Award is widely recognized as the highest honor in computer
networking.  The Award recognizes lifetime achievement in and
contributions to the field.  It is awarded annually to a person whose
work, over the course of his or her career, represents a significant
contribution to the field and a substantial influence on the work and
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,
The award to Peter Kirstein is for "Contributions to the practical  
understanding of large-scale networks through the deployment of  
international testbeds". A copy of Dr. Kirstein's keynote address  
presentation slides is here.

1998: Dr. Larry Roberts,
The award to Dr. Roberts is for "Visionary Contributions and Advanced  
Technology Development of Computer Communication Networks".  A copy
