Roy Thomas Fielding (born 1965) is an American computer scientist, one of the principal authors of the HTTP specification, an authority on computer network architecture, and co-founder of the Apache HTTP Server project.[1][2]
Fielding works as a Principal Scientist at Adobe Systems in San Jose, California.[3]
Biography
In 1965, Fielding was born in Laguna Beach, California. He describes himself as "part Maori, Kiwi, Yank, Irish, Scottish, British, and California beach bum".[4][5][6]
In 1999, Fielding was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[7]
In 2000, Fielding was granted his doctorate by the University of California, Irvine.[8]
Contributions
Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures, Fielding's doctoral dissertation, describes Representational State Transfer (REST) as a key architectural principle of the World Wide Web, and received a large amount of attention. People now frequently hold up REST as an approach to developing web services,[8] as an alternative to other distributed-computing specifications such as SOAP. Fielding has also been heavily involved in the development of HTML and Uniform Resource Identifiers. Fielding was a co-founder of the Apache HTTP Server project[9][10] and was a member of the interim OpenSolaris Boards until he resigned from the community in 2008.[11] He was the chair of the Apache Software Foundation for its first three years and was a member of its board of directors until May 2014.[12]
Between 2001 and 2006, Fielding worked on Waka, an application protocol intended as "a binary, token-based replacement for HTTP".[13] It was "designed to match the efficiency of the REST architectural style".[14][15]
