Dr. Lillie has over twenty-five years of experience in the management of computer resources.  He is currently an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP). For the five years prior to his position at UNCP he focused on business opportunities in network management, electronic commerce, and World Wide Web technologies.  As a computer resources professional, he held increasingly responsible positions within the Department of Defense (DoD) and in industry.  His specialized experience includes Division Manager, Program Manager, Lead Software Engineer, and Chief Scientist for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Director of the Strategic Defense System Software Center, Software Manager for the Strategic Defense Initiative, Director of Management Information Systems, Director of Software Acquisition Policy and Technology Transition, and responsible for office automation projects. Dr. Lillie was chairman of Reuse'97: The Business of Reuse, co-general chairman of the Fourth International Conference on Software Reuse, and chairman of Reuse'96: Reuse as an Integral Part of Software Engineering.  He supported the National Academy of Science by addressing electronic commerce and software technology issues on selected research panels.  Dr. Lillie was a member of SAIC's Executive Science and Technology Council.

Lead Software Engineer.  Dr. Lillie supported the Joint Network Management System (JNMS) program as Lead Software Engineer.  In this capacity he was responsible for managing the budget and schedule for the software part of JNMS.  He managed the software development part of the JNMS high level design for the Preliminary Design Review, managed the building of a high level prototype and demonstrated the concept used to integrate the Commercial Off the Shelf and Government Off the Shelf applications that make up the JNMS.

Chief Scientist.  Dr. Lillie supported network projects and electronic commerce applications.  He helped the Defense Information Systems Agency evaluate the Defense Information System Network (DISN) to determine the requirements to implement Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) on the DISN.  He served as a consultant to the Pentagon on network issues related to the early backbone implementation.  He was program manager for the JurisDictionUSA project to implement a Web-based legal industry toolset.

Director of Electronic Commerce.  Dr. Lillie developed a variety of electronic commerce initiatives ranging from the automotive industry to federal and state government.  He was program manager for an electronic commerce project to produce a strategic electronic procurement plan for the World Bank.  He served as a consultant to the Pentagon on networking issues and supported the Design Specification and Requirements Team to produce the "Pentagon Renovation Program -- Program Wide Criteria."

Division Manager, Program Manager, Chief Scientist, and Director for the Asset Source for Software Engineering Technology (ASSET) program.  Dr. Lillie established a division to expand electronic commerce, World Wide Web technology, software engineering, software reuse, and software technology business opportunities with Government and commercial clients.  As program manager and director for ASSET, he managed the financial and personnel resources and transitioned ASSET from a Government project to a commercial business.  As chief scientist, he provided technical guidance and long range planning for the ASSET program.  He established the national software reuse facility for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) by developing a set of management procedures, identifying and addressing technical issues critical to software reuse, developing capabilities for classification, validation, certification, and retrieval of reusable software components, and implementing a facility to advance software reuse across the Department of Defense.  Dr. Lillie developed the ASSET Business Plan which addresses the creation of an operational business infrastructure to support development of a software reuse industry within the U.S. He directed the development of the ASSET Five Year Plan that defines how ASSET will accomplish its mission, goals, and objectives over the long term as defined in the ASSET Business Plan.  He initiated and provided guidance for Criteria and Implementation Procedures for Evaluation of Reusable Software Engineering Assets.
