Valencian Scientist Named President of the Internet
To be President of the Internet sounds a bit like being a character in an Asimov novel, and yet Valencian Telecom researcher and Polytechnic (UPV) professor Jaime Lloret is just that.
To be accurate, which should in no way be a hindrance to the creative journalist, Jaime is in fact the President of the Internet Technical Committee, although plans for world domination are believed to be hidden away in a dark corner of his office in the Gandia campus of the UPV.
The ITC was created in 1994 by the IEEE Communications Society and the Internet Society.
It is supposed to stimulate interdisciplinary technical exchange and the application of state of the art communications and related technologies to Internet infrastructure and services, seeking to generate new technical insights from interaction between the Internet and public network communities and contributing to the worldwide emergence of a ubiquitous, multimedia, and high-performance Internet.
The scope of the Committee includes evolution of the IP protocol; architectural and scaling issues; addressing, routing, and directory services; protocols and technologies in support of real-time media; dynamic control of quality of service; congestion control and admission policies; signaling and network management; access via diverse local and metropolitan networks; information retrieval and sharing; the enabling of new services and applications over the Internet; and the development of potential Internet successors.
But most of us know that they are secretly seeking world domination; and after earth, the entire Universe!
