RESUME OF SHU SHENG LIAO 
Shu s. Liao was born in Fon Yuan, Taiwan, 
on August 18, 1940. He attended National Taiwan 
University in Taipei, Taiwan, where he majored 
in English Literature and received the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts in June 1965. After one year 
of military duty, he attended Utah State Uni-
versity in Logan, Utah, and received a Master of 
Science degree in Accounting in June 1968. He 
received the degree of Ph.D. in Accountancy from 
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 
in October 1971, with minor concentration in be-
havioral sciences and quantitative methods. His 
dissertation concerned the effect of the separa-
tion of ownership from control and its implica-
tions on accounting theory. 
He was employed by Wei Chuan Foods Company, 
as accountant, internal auditor, and branch 
chief accountant. 
He joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Greens-
boro in September 1971, with main teaching responsibility in Accounting 
and EDP systems. In July 1974, he joined the faculty of the State Uni-
versity of New York at Buffalo. In September 1977, he was appointed to 
the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. 
His teaching has been in the area of financial and managerial ac-
counting. His research work has covered a wide range of topics, includ-
ing financial reporting, managerial accounting, behavioral aspect of ac-
counting, application of quantitative methods in accounting, pedagogical 
methods for professional education, and public sector financialmanagement. 
He is a member of American Accounting Association, National Associa-
tion of Accountants, Financial Management Association, and Western Eco-
nomic Association.

Mine Sweeping
New Problems
• What is the connection of ED/AD ratio and 
q-values to the n-layer magnetic model? 
(3) Optical Performance 
Topography
• To provide the warfighter the planning tools 
he needs, an optical topography will need to 
be produced for an operational area that will 
indicate where the optical assets will be 
effective over the entire operational area 
and for what period of time.
