Bibliography
Douglas Comer, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science
at Purdue University, is an internationally recognized expert on
computer networking, the TCP/IP protocols, and the Internet. The
author of numerous refereed articles and textbooks, he is a pioneer
in the development of curriculum and laboratories for research and
education.
A prolific author, Comer's popular books have been translated into
16 languages, and are used in computer science, engineering, and
business departments around the world. His landmark three-volume
series Internetworking With TCP/IP revolutionized networking and
network education. His textbooks and innovative laboratory manuals
have shaped, and continue to shape, graduate and undergraduate
curricula.
The accuracy and insight of Dr. Comer's books reflect his extensive
background in computer systems. His research spans both hardware
and software. He has created a complete operating system, written
device drivers, and implemented network protocol software for
conventional computers as well as network processors. The resulting
software has been used by industry in a variety of products.
Comer has created and teaches courses on network protocols and
computer technologies for a variety of audiences, including courses
for engineers as well as academic audiences. His innovative
educational laboratories allow him and his students to design and
implement working prototypes of large, complex systems, and measure
the performance of the resulting prototypes. He continues to teach
at industries, universities, and conferences around the world. In
addition, Comer consults for industry on the design of computer
networks and systems.
For over 15 years, Professor Comer has served as editor-in-chief of
the research journal Software-Practice and Experience. He is a
fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the Purdue Teaching Academy, and a
recipient of numerous awards, including a Usenix Lifetime
Achievement award
