Stephen J. Andriole (born October 22, 1949) is an American information technology professional and professor at Villanova University [1] who has designed and developed a variety of interactive computer-based systems for industry and government, from positions in academia (Professor, chairman, R&D Center Director), government (Director of Cybernetics Technology at DARPA) and industry (CIO, CTO, SVP, Director and CEO).

Contents

He is well known for the design and development of a global crisis warning system—the Early Warning & Monitoring System—whose output appeared in President Ronald Reagan's Daily Briefing Book. His research portfolio while at DARPA included early funding of the MIT Architecture Machine Group now known as the MIT Media Lab, research in artificial intelligence at Yale University and Carnegie-Mellon University, computer simulation, computer-aided decision analysis and computer-based crisis management. [2] At DARPA, he funded one of the first research programs in counter-terrorism crisis management.

Andriole is also well known for the design and development of the United States' first totally online Masters program in information systems (MSIS), with the support of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation while at Drexel University. He was also the principal architect of the investment strategy of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (NYSE: SFE) that led to multiple Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of Internet companies with a total market capitalization of over $100B.

He is also known through the publication of over 35 books and 500 articles in artificial intelligence and machine learning, information systems engineering, defense command and control, interactive systems design and development, human-computer interaction, venture investing, technology due to diligence, social media, emerging technology and information technology.

He is a Fellow of the Cutter Consortium, was a charter member of the U.S. government's Senior Executive Service (SES), received the Defense Meritorious Civilian Service Award for his work at DARPA, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from La Salle University in 2000. He currently holds the Thomas G. Labrecque Chair of Business Technology at Villanova University's School of Business where he teaches AI & machine learning, strategic technology, innovation, business consulting, entrepreneurialism and technology management. [2]

Government

Andriole was the Director of the Cybernetics Technology Office (CTO) at DARPA where he managed a program of research and development that led to a number of scientific and technological advances in the broad-based information, decision and computing sciences. While at DARPA, he funded the development of spatial data management and multimedia systems, decision support systems, computer-aided simulation and training systems, and intelligent technology-based command & control systems. He funded MIT's Architecture Machine Group, which evolved into the MIT Media Lab. The CTO program also contributed to applications of the ARPANET, interactive training simulations, such as SIMNET, and a host of artificial intelligence-based applications. [2]

Industry

While at Decisions & Designs, Inc., Andriole designed and developed interactive computer-based resource allocation, forecasting and decision-making systems for the federal government [3] and implemented an interactive system for monitoring the interactions among nations, a system that was originally funded by DARPA as part of his PhD dissertation research, and whose output was published in President Reagan's Daily Briefing Book. He pioneered the development and application of storyboard prototyping for, requirements validation and management. He pioneered the development and application of storyboard prototyping for requirements validation and management. Andriole was the Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President for Technology Strategy at CIGNA Corporation, a global insurance and financial services company, where he was responsible for the enterprise information architecture, computing standards, the technology research & development program, data security, as well as the overall alignment of enterprise information technology investments with CIGNA's multiple lines of business. He was the Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (NYSE: SFE) where he was responsible for identifying technology trends, translating that insight into the Safeguard investment strategy, and leveraging trends analyses with the Safeguard partner companies. Andriole directly participated in raising nearly $1B for Safeguard and its companies. [2]

Entrepreneur, investor, and director

Andriole founded International Information Systems (IIS), Inc., which designed interactive systems for a variety of corporate and government clients. IIS specialized in requirements analysis and prototyping, the design of user-computer interfaces, and software systems evaluation. He also founded TechVestCo, Inc., a company that provided consulting around technology optimization. Andriole also helped fund multiple companies as an Angel Investor, and served on the board of directors of the Ben Franklin Technology Center of Southeastern Pennsylvania for nearly a decade, among other public and private companies.

Academia

Andriole was a (tenured, full) Professor of Information Systems and Electrical & Computer Engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He conducted applied research in information and software systems engineering, principally through the Center for Multidisciplinary Information Systems Engineering, which he founded and directed. While at Drexel University, with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, he designed and implemented the nation's first totally online Masters program in information systems (MSIS). The program was featured in the nationally broadcast PBS Special "net.learning." [4] He was a Professor and Chairman of the Department of Information Systems & Systems Engineering at George Mason University where he held the George Mason Institute Endowed Chair. The ISSE department was home to 30 professors and had an annual external sponsored research budget of over $5 million. Several research centers were established in the department during this time including the Center for Computer Security, the Center for Software Engineering and the Center for Command, Control, Communications & Intelligence (C4I).

Andriole is currently the Thomas G. Labrecque Professor of Business Technology at the Villanova School of Business, where he teaches in the undergraduate and MBA programs. He teaches Emerging Business Technologies, Technology as a Strategic Lever, Strategic Information Technology Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning for Business and Innovation & Entrepreneurialism. [2]  His research focuses on digital technology optimization, technology management, technology adoption, and how emerging technology can modify or replace business processes and whole business models.   [2]

Author

Andriole was a monthly columnist for Datamation Magazine on business technology convergence for nearly a decade. [5] Andriole was featured in Business Insider and Region's Business [6] IT's All About the People was named the No. 4 Best Book in IT-Business for 2011 by CIO Insight Magazine. [7] He is a contributor to Forbes Magazine where publishes on all things digital. [8] In addition to his books, he has recently published in the MIT Sloan Management Review, the Communications of the ACM, the Communications of the AIS, the California Management Review, IEEE IT Professional, and other academic and applied journals and magazines.

Education

Andriole received his BA from La Salle University and Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Maryland which were supported by a National Defense Education Act Fellowship. His PhD dissertation was funded by DARPA. He received an Honorary Doctorate from LaSalle University in 2000.

The Internet of Military Things (IoMT) is a class of Internet of things for combat operations and warfare. It is a complex network of interconnected entities, or "things", in the military domain that continually communicate with each other to coordinate, learn, and interact with the physical environment to accomplish a broad range of activities in a more efficient and informed manner. The concept of IoMT is largely driven by the idea that future military battles will be dominated by machine intelligence and cyber warfare and will likely take place in urban environments. By creating a miniature ecosystem of smart technology capable of distilling sensory information and autonomously governing multiple tasks at once, the IoMT is conceptually designed to offload much of the physical and mental burden that warfighters encounter in a combat setting.
