Jim's group applies artificial intelligence to develop innovative software solutions for training, task support, decision support, interactive and automated planning, and data visualization. His group currently develops the Visual Planning Execution and Review (ViPER) family of highly visual planning tools that enable rapid and intuitive entry, analysis, and simulation of mission plans for Navy air wings and submarines. His group also develops the TEAM tool suite for collaborative modeling and analysis of complex environments and courses of action (COAs), the Task Tutor Toolkitā„¢ intelligent tutoring system development environment, the TaskGuideā„¢ system for rapid authoring of task support and training tutorial systems, and the DataMontageā„¢ time-oriented data visualization system. His group also develops intelligent tutoring systems, knowledge management and collaborative planning systems, and tools for automated planning and autonomous systems development.

Jim has served in applied research, software consulting, and systems engineering roles at Bolt, Beranek and Newman and at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Jim received an MBA from Boston University, an MS in computer science (artificial intelligence) from Yale University, an MS in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California at Berkeley, and a BS in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
