		Cailliau will deliver the second annual Paustenbach Lecture during one of the conference keynote presentations titled, "Are We All Caught in the Web?" at 5:15 p.m.
		Cailliau provided essential support at CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland to Tim Berners-Lee, who then conceived and developed the software that combined hypertext links with the Internet in a way that linked computer networks anywhere in the world.
		Cailliau is now head of external communication in the Education and Technology Transfer Unit of CERN where he responsible for CERN's Intranet public communications.

		Robert Cailliau, a Belgian computer engineer who co-drafted the first proposals for the Web with Britain's Tim Berners-Lee, makes the iconoclastic suggestion in an interview published in Thursday's issue of New Scientist.
		Cailliau's remarks are a break with the usual viewpoint of the Net's founders.
		Cailliau works at CERN, the Swiss-based European particle physics lab, where he and Berners-Lee drew up proposals in 1990 to connect computerised documents with so-called hypertext links.

	Creation Of The Web -- History, Tim Berners-Lee, Robert Cailliau, CERN, First Server, Birth, Invention
		Robert Cailliau had independently proposed a project to develop a hypertext system at CERN, and joined Berners-Lee as a partner in his efforts to get the web off the ground.
		He deployed the program on his and Cailliau's computers, and they were both communicating with the world's first web server at info.cern.ch on December 25, 1990.
		He was awarded the Albert Medal of the Royal Society of the Arts in 2002 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and dubbed a Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire (KBE) by Queen Elizabeth II on July 16, 2004, using the sword that had belonged to her father, King George VI.

		One of the World Wide Web's pioneers, Robert Cailliau, said he isn't at all surprised by the diversity of the information and products found today on the millions of pages he helped put on computer screens around the planet.
		Speaking English in a barely discernible accent, Cailliau said his first glimpse of what the Web might become came in 1993 and 1994, through a European Union project designed to help provide information to smaller, less developed countries within the union.
		Cailliau said the Web also has to find ways to increase people's trust in the reliability and quality of the information, perhaps also giving Web page authors a chance to be paid for their content without relying on pop-up ads, or what he called "nuisance-free browsing."

		Robert was visiting relatives in Leeds, and took the opportunity to visit the local University to spread the word about the Web.
		Robert's reply was four, but, in response to my comment that that wasn't many, mentioned strategic links between CERN and an organisation in the US called NCSA.
		Robert hoped that these links would result in sharing the load for software development, and he mentioned a browser which was being developed with the name of Mosaic.

	Free Pint Bookshelf - Weaving the Web
		The World Wide Web was created by two men: Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau and it is appropriate that this tenth anniversary has been marked by each producing a book to tell his own story of what happened in those far-off days.
		Cailliau comes from a different background: a Belgian engineer at CERN who, in 1990, became the Web's self-proclaimed evangelist.
		Last year, I heard Cailliau speak at CERN and felt as if I were on a pilgrimage.

		Cailliau tells us that as early as 1945, Vannevar Bush, science adviser to President Roosevelt, writes about the Memex, a device (based on microfilm) for storing vast amounts of documents in a single desk, with mechanical aids for finding, organizing, and adding to the repository.
		Cailliau regrets the loss of a number of features from the original prototype, which were not implemented in any of the browsers that followed from the Line Mode Browser and the X implementations such as Viola and Mosaic.
		Cailliau begins to search for and find SGML technology: one day he forces a meeting with the president of a small but highly advanced company, Grif.
