 Paul Baran
Baran began an investigation into development of survivable communications networks, the results of which were first presented to the Air Force in the summer of 1961 as briefing B-265, then as paper P-2626, and then as a series of eleven comprehensive papers titled On Distributed Communications in 1964.
Baran's 1964 series of papers then influenced Roberts and Kleinrock to adopt the technology for development of the ARPANET network a few years later, laying the groundwork that leads to its continued use today by TCP/IP on the Internet today..
Baran later left RAND to become an entrepreneur and private investor in the early 1970's, and founded Metricom, co-founded Com21.com, and co-founded the Institute for the Future.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Baran"
The tension, as well as the uneasy friendliness, between those refugees and Iranians is the net on which Majidi (who also wrote the screenplay) embroiders the finer points of his story.
Majidi has a delicate touch and an extraordinary visual sense: "Baran," although it takes place mostly on a dusty construction site employing impoverished workers, and in refugee enclaves that are far from luxurious, has a rich, lavish look.
In fact, "Baran" looks so good, and tells a story that's so universally appealing, that I suspect some American aficionados of Iranian cinema will carp that it's too "Westernized." The more important point, though, is that it shows us a slice of life that's very different from our own and yet instantly recognizable.
