Other works include: The Mesh and the Net: Speculations on National Security in an Age of Free Silicon, which deals with military technology circa 2025; Information Technology Standards: Quest for the Common Byte (Digital Press, 1995); What is Information Warfare? (summarized in Strategic Forum No. 28 "Defending Cyberspace and Other Metaphors"); "Dominant Battlespace Knowledge and its Consequences" (a chapter in Dominant Battlespace Knowledge); and "Emerging Military Instruments" in INSS's (Institute for National Strategic Studies) Strategic Assessment 1996, and the concluding chapters of Strategic Assessment 1998. Earlier monographs include What Makes Industries Strategic and Industrial Strength Defense.

Prior employment included 12 years at the National Defense University, three years on the Navy Staff as program sponsor for industrial preparedness, and three years as a policy analyst for the Energy and Minerals Division, General Accounting Office.

Dr. Libicki received his Ph.D. from the University of California (U.C.) at Berkeley (1978) writing on industrial economics. He also received a Master's in City Planning from U.C. Berkeley (1974), and a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1972).

1992-1998 Director, Department of Computer Science

During this period undergraduate enrollment has grown from 150 to 500 students and graduate enrollment has grown from 30 to 80. We have developed undergraduate concentrations in information technology and data communications, we have developed undergraduate minors in health information systems and in telecommunications, and we have developed a graduate concentration in information security taught through the Internet.

1996-1998 Director, The Information Security Program

This is the first remote Internet-based curriculum at JMU and leads to the Master of Science degree in Computer Science concentrating in Information Security. This program doubled graduate enrollment in its first year and expects to double enrollment again in its second year.

1994-1996 Chair, Goals and Objectives Subcommittee, General Education Committee

This subcommittee formulated the first description of general education as learning objectives rather than as traditional distribution areas. It received over 1000 objectives from the university faculty and consolidated them into a list of about 100 objectives for the new General Education program.

1980-1992 Coordinator, Computer Science Program

The Computer Science program was initiated in 1980 in the Department of Mathematics and grew steadily through these years in number of students, size of faculty, and sophistication of its laboratories.
