Defined novel concepts of operation for technology applications in military operations, maintenance and logistics, intelligence, education, and healthcare

Ran a research and development effort on planning and scheduling technology which went from research proposal to fielded prototype aircraft operations and maintenance system (i.e., from Technology Readiness Level 1 to Technology Readiness Level 6) in under five years, producing a spin-off company, a positive Military Utility Assessment from the US Marine Corps, and technology transitions to the USMC and the Joint Strike Fighter Program.

Established award-winning coordinated multi-agent planning efforts which outperformed conventional technologies by margins of 60-80% in over 97% of test cases independently defined and evaluated by DARPA

Senior Project Leader for Distributed Collaborative Enterprises / Research Associate Professor (7/97 - 9/2000) Enterprise Integration Systems Division

Wrote the founding charter for the Division At request of DARPA, led GeoWorlds, a consortial effort of the top ten

projects of the DARPA/NASA/NSF Digital Libraries Initiative, producing one of world's first integrations of Geospatial Information Systems and the World Wide Web

1994-1997 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – Arlington, VAProgram ManagerHandled program definition, technical/financial plans, project selection and management

Managed DARPA's Planning & Decision Aids program, refocusing it toward plan repair/adaptation and collaborative planning. Initiated technology transfer to USTRANSCOM. Selected and funded new efforts worth over $24M.

Co-developed DARPA's Advanced Logistics Program on concurrent control of military operations and logistical support, leading program definition of technology and demonstrations in supply, procurement, and electronic commerce. Architected concept of plan sentinels, an early


warning system for plan breakdowns. Selected and guided contracts valued over $50M.

Managed elements of the Human-Computer Interaction, Agile Manufacturing, and Intelligent Integration of Information programs, valued over $25M. Moved all three programs toward focus on network information access and composing separate research results into a comprehensive system.

1982-1994 USC Information Sciences Institute – Marina del Rey, CA

Project Leader / Research Assistant & Associate Professor (7/86 - 6/94)Intelligent Systems Division

Established the 8-person INtegrated User-Support Environments (IN-USE) research group on individual and collaborative information management systems, emphasizing reusable component technology. Efforts included basic work on knowledge-based systems, intelligent interfaces and collaboration, as well as applied work on intelligent logistics and electronic commerce. Maintained a funding stream between $1-2M/year throughout this period.

Wrote winning proposals obtaining approximately $5M of funding for e-commerce work performed in a separate USC ISI division, enabling founding of the second operating e-commerce service in the country (FASTXchange), which won awards for support of Operation Desert Storm and is now among the oldest e-commerce businesses still in operation.

Led the ARPA Knowledge Sharing Effort, a consortium of over 20 academic, industrial and government R&D centers developing tools and protocols for sharing and reuse of knowledge-based systems. A strong example of high leverage in research funding, with a budget ranging between no more than $150-200K/year over three years, the effort produced recommendations on knowledge representation languages, reusable ontologies, and agent communication languages which have since been cited in over 500 academic papers.
