Advanced Research Projects Agency Network

ARPANET Advanced Research Projects Agency Network... 

The final recommendations of the conference were (1) that a national computation center for quantum chemistry and perhaps other fields with similar computational requirements be established (2) that a quantum chemistry institute be attached to the national computation center to maintain a program library, develop new programs, develop new methods and theories, and plan for new computers (3) that the center possess remote capability, possibly modeled on the Advanced Research Projects Agency s network, to achieve resource sharing and (4) that the possible utilization and financial support of the center by industrial organizations be considered. ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), part of the U.S. Department of Defense, funds research into a number of areas, including networks, cognitive systems, robotics, and high-priority computing. This agency initially funded the project that became the basis of the Internet. 

In 1969, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (now the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. Department of Defense proposed a method to fink together the computers at several universities to share computational data via networks. This network became known as ARPANET, which was the precursor of the Internet. As a result, electronic mail (e-mail) was developed, along with protocols for sending information over phone lines in packets. The protocols for the transmission of these packets of data came to be known as Transmission Control... 

ARPANET launches The Advanced Research Projects Agency starts ARPANET, which is the precursor to the Internet. UCLA and Stanford University are the first institutions to become networked. 

The Internet was first introduced in the late 1960s. At that time, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later DARPA) launched an experimental network called... 

The international data network Internet connects over 10,000 computer networks with about 1.5 million computer terminals and 10 million users. The network has no central organisation. It has been built up since the late sixties, starting with the US Defense Administration s ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency). Later, it became the National Research and Education Network providing data exchange for American scientists.
