Interview # 360 for the IEEE History Center, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. MISCHA SCHWARTZ: An Interview Conducted by David Hochfelder, IEEE History Center, 17 September 1999 He mentions various of his doctoral students, the achievements of the field in general and of institutions to which he is affiliated, such as the CTR, in particular, and identifies central topics in the field. He has published at least three textbooks, Information Transmission, Modulation, and Noise (1959), Computer Communication Network Design (1977), and Telecommunications Networks: Protocols, Modeling, and Analysis (1987). ![]() He has been involved with the IEEE and its Information Theory Group and Communication Society for much of his career, including stints as president of the Communication Society. He worked on setting standards for networks with the CCITT, CCIR, ISO, and NRC. His research included coincidence detection and sequential detection through the mid-1960s then, with the development of SABRE, SAGE, and ARPANet, he switched focus to computer networks, particularly performance analysis and queuing theory. He was a professor at Brooklyn Poly from 1953 to 1973 (head of the EE department 1961-66, established a telecommunications group there, and since then has been a professor at Columbia (helping found the Center for Telecommunications Research (CTR) in 1985, and serving as hits director until 1988). He worked at Sperry from 1947 to 1952, largely on issues signal detection theory (also the subject of his dissertation). Mischa Schwartz received his bachelor’s from Cooper Union, his Masters from Brooklyn Polytechnic, and his PhD (1951) from Harvard, the last thanks to a Sperry Graduate Fellowship. 4.20 Internet, wireless, and multimedia networking.4.19 Educational and international influences of NSF Engineering Center.4.18 ATM switching Wave Division Multiplexing.4.16 Center for Telecommunications Research, Columbia.4.12 Routing protocols communication links.4.10 Networks research, teaching, and publication.4.9 ARPANET commercial computer utilities.4.8 Communication networks and computers.4.7 Brooklyn Poly Teaching and Research.4.4 Signal detection in noise thesis and publications.4.2 Education Sperry Gyroscope Company employment.4.1 World War II influences on radar, communication theory. ![]()
