Westwood : Honor for Computer Scientist

The $35,000 Marconi International Fellowship will be awarded to Leonard Kleinrock, a professor of computer science at UCLA, in ceremonies today in Brussels.

The award, which university officials consider to be the most prestigious prize in the field of communications, will be presented by Crown Prince Albert, brother of King Baudouin of Belgium.

Kleinrock is being honored for his pioneering research in computer networks, including creation of the first data transmission network linking computers at remote sites. He is a resident of Brentwood.
