Dial M for Learning: mLearning ideas

Robert Cailliau is renowned as co-developer of the World Wide Web. Originally graduating as a civil engineer in electrical and mechanical engineering, Robert went on to do a Masters in Computer, Information and Control Engineering. His work with CERN the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, began as a fellow in the proton synchrotron division, and developed to group leader of Office Computing systems in the data handling division.

In 1989 Robert and Tim Berners-Lee independently proposed a hypertext system for access to CERN documentation; this then led to the World Wide Web. He finished working at CERN in 2005. Robert has co-authored ‘How the Web Was Born: The Story of the World Wide Web’ with James Gillies. This book details how the idea for the Web came about at CERN, how it was developed and how it was eventually handed over for free for the rest of the world to use.

Robert Cailliau will be presenting at the Global Summit 2006, Sydney, Australia 17-19 October.
