Dr. David Reed's research focuses on designs for societal-scale systems that manage, communicate, and manipulate information shared among people. Dr. Reed co-developed both the Internet design principle known as the "end-to-end argument" and Reed's Law, which describes the economics of group formation in networks. At the MIT Media Lab, David co-leads work on viral communications, exploring adaptive, scalable, and evolving radio network architectures. David is also an HP Fellow at HP Labs. In 2005, David received the IP3 Award for his seminal work on Internet architecture. He has served on the FCC's Technological Advisory Council and other groups, advising the U.S. government on issues related to future communications technologies. David has consulted widely in the computer industry, has served as a senior research scientist at Interval Research Corporation, and was the vice president and chief scientist for Lotus Development Corporation.
