关于本次演讲：
如果您曾纳闷过网站“Akamai 化”的意思为何，这场有关本公司起源的演说将可解谜。但在Akamai 问世之前，存在着相当多的研究问题。大约在十五年前，万维网 (World Wide Web) 创始者－Tim Berners-Lee 要求 Thomson Leighton考虑对于未来的解决方案－即目前所熟悉之网际网络问题：当使用者大量涌入特定网站造成网络塞车的瓶颈，通常是因为只凭藉单一网络供应线路所造成。Leighton团队在计算最快速资料传输率的方法过程中，产生了算法 (和刊物及先进的教育)。他们从中学习到一些技巧，以应付网络服务供应商从网络线路上，排挤竞争者的资料导致网络传输速度减慢的情形。Akamai (夏威夷语之“既聪明又酷”) 计划始于 麻省理工$50k 创业竞赛，并在一些大客户决定让这间公司操作测试后一炮而红。Paramount、ESPN、Apple 和Microsoft体认到 Akamai 之网络最优化策略的重要性：将伺服器与路由软件散布至“边缘”及使用者，而非集中服务。Akamai 经历股市的“泡沫化”及崩盘后依然续存，而目前以提供多元化全球市场服务为主。
If you have ever wondered what it means for a website to become "Akamaized," this lecture about the company's origins explains much of the mystery. But before there was an Akamai, there were research problemsots of them. Nearly 15 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee, architect of the World Wide Web, asked Tom Leighton to think about solutions to future -- and now familiar-- Internet issues: bottlenecks that form when users flood to a particular site, often along a single Internet supply line. Leighton's team generated algorithms (and publications and advanced degrees) while figuring out the fastest means to move information from here to there. Along the way, they learned some tricks to outsmart Internet service providers who slow traffic down by bumping competitors' data from their network lines. Akamai (which means clever and cool in Hawaiian) got its start in the MIT 50k competition, and took off when some big name clients decided to give the company a trial run. Paramount, ESPN, Apple, and Microsoft recognized the importance of Akamai's Internet optimization strategy: distributing servers and routing software to the "edge" or end users, rather than centralizing services. Akamai survived the stock market "bubble" and collapse, and now serves a diverse global market.
关于讲者：
Thomson Leighton已出版超过一百篇平行算法和结构、分散式计算、网络通讯协定、组合式最优化、或然性方法、VLSI 计算和设计、排列算法和图解理论领域方面之研究论文。他也出版了两本著作，内容包括平行算法和结构。
Leighton 持有数个涉及网络算法、密码学和数位权利管理之专利—其中许多已授权或售予主流公司。
Thomson Leighton 于 1978 年获得普林斯顿大学电机和计算机工程学士学位，于 1981 年获得 MIT 应用数学博士。Leighton 于 1981 年至 1983 年期间，担任 MIT 实验室计算机学 (LCS) Bantrell 博士的后研究员，且于 1982 年任职 MIT 应用数学系教授。
最近他担任总统资讯技术顾问委员会职务，任期两年。最近他已被选为美国艺术和科学学院之成员。

Tom Leighton has published more 100 research papers in the areas of parallel algorithms and architectures, distributed computing, communication protocols for networks, combinatorial optimization, probabilistic methods, VLSI computation and design, sequential algorithms, and graph theory. He is also the author of two books, including a leading text on parallel algorithms and architectures.
Leighton holds numerous patents involving algorithms for networks, cryptography, and digital rights management -- many of which have been licensed or sold to major corporations.
Tom Leighton received a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University in 1978, and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from MIT in 1981. Leighton was a Bantrell Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) from 1981 to 1983, and he joined the MIT faculty in Applied Mathematics in 1982.
He recently began a two-year appointment to the President's Information Technology Advisory Council. Most recently, he has been named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
