Abstract

From the early 1970s, developers at Bolt Beranek and Newman continued BBN's record for innovative breakthroughs in networked systems. Particularly noteworthy endeavors involved the explorations of multimode communications, the distributed systems infrastructure (now known as middleware), and network-centric applications such as email that eventually became indispensable to everyday modern life.
