Dr. Clark, a Senior Research Scientist at MIT has been leading the development of the Internet since the late 1970s. From 1981-1989 he acted as chief protocol architect in this development, and chaired the Internet Activities Board. Dr. Clark is chairman of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council.

Prof. Amarasinghe is Assistant Professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and co-leader of the MIT Raw Architecture group.
