Wesley A. Clark

Wesley A. Clark is a computer scientist.

He was one of the main participants in the creation of the LINC laboratory computer, which was both the first mini-computer, and shares with a number of other computers (such as the PDP-1) the claim to be the inspiration for the personal computer.

He also had a small but key role in the planning for the ARPANET (the predecessor to the Internet), having been the person to suggest the use of separate small computers (later named Interface Message Processors).

He received an EE degree from MIT in 1955.
