[ If any IPer is going maybe they could send me a summary of their reactions for IP djf] "Third Tuesdays" Seminar - October 17, 1995 Institute for Computer & Telecommunications Systems Policy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tuesday, October 17, 1995 4-6 p.m. Room 413-414 Marvin Center 21st & H St. NW, Washington, DC INFORMATION WARFARE: HACKERS AND CRACKERS AND THE PROJECTION OF POWER Speaker: John I. Alger, Ph.D. Dean, School of Information Warfare and Strategy National Defense University, Ft. McNair Discussant: William Caeilli, Ph.D. Head, School of Data Communications Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia Summary Since the Gulf War, the Department of Defense has increasingly committed manpower, dollars, and intellectual energy to understanding the implications of information as an element of power. New definitions have resulted. New organizations have emerged -- in spite of downsizing. New curriculums have been developed. New ideas of competition and conflict are challenging traditional concepts of war and peace. At the center of these changes lies the concept of Information War. This presentation presents an overview of current Information Warfare initiatives in the Department of Defense and assesses whether Information Warfare is a passing fantasy romanticized by the hackers and crackers of cyberspace or a unifying concept for conflict in the Twenty-first Century. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1995-96 "Third Tuesdays" Seminar Series: "Interdisciplinary Aspects of the Electronic Superhighway" Free and Open to the Public Funding for this program has been provided in part by the National Science Foundation
