Stanford remains the university many would say is still the place to find the seeds of the next Google or Yahoo. Among those saying this is SiliconValley.com, which reports on a celebration at the school’s computer science department featuring “five billionaire or near-billionaire veterans” of the department, including Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim and former Netscape exec Jim Clark.
Part of our goal with this Alpha Doggs blog is to track the goings-on at schools such as Stanford, but also to get a feel for which other schools deserve more attention for their advanced network research (let us know!).
Meanwhile, back to Stanford, we’ve been tracking a few recent activities, including its data privacy research with India’s Tata Consultancy Services.
