Roy Thomas Fielding, Ph.D.Senior Principal Scientist, Adobe |
Roy T. Fielding is a Senior Principal Scientist at Adobe Systems Incorporated, a leading provider of creative tools for digital media and digital marketing. Dr. Fielding is best known for his work in developing and defining the modern World Wide Web infrastructure. He is the primary architect of the current Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1), co-author of the Internet standards for HTTP and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), and a founder of several open-source software projects. Dr. Fielding received his Ph.D. degree in Information and Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine.
Dr. Fielding's research interests include the World Wide Web, software architecture for network-based applications, application-layer network protocols, collaborative software development methods, and global software engineering environments. His dissertation, Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures, defines the REST architectural style as a model for the design principles behind the modern Web architecture. As a founding member of the Apache Group, Dr. Fielding was honored with the 1999 ACM Software System Award for his work on the Apache HTTP server project. He has also been honored by MIT Technology Review as a member of the first TR100 (the top 100 young innovators for 1999) and by the O'Reilly Open Source 2000 with the Appaloosa Award for Vision.
Dr. Fielding serves as a member of The Apache Software Foundation, Vice President, Apache HTTP Server Project, and an external advisor for the Institute for Software Research.
