Brief Biographical Sketch

I was born in Ioannina in 1971. I obtained my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete, in 1994 and 1996, respectively. In 2000, I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Rennes I in France. 

Currently, I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science & Engineering of the University of Ioannina. My research is in the field of software engineering, with emphasis on software architecture, design, evolution and quality. Moreover, I am interested in middleware and service-oriented software. 
So far, I co-authored more than 60 publications in international journals (IEEE Tr. Soft. Eng.,IEEE Tr. Services Comp., CACM, Inf. & Soft. Technology, etc.), conferences (ICSE, FSE, ASE, CAiSE, ICWS, Middleware, etc.), and books. Some statistics concerning the impact of my contribution can be found in my Google scholar profile, as well as, in my Microsoft academic profile. I am a regular reviewer in several journals and I have served as a program committee member in various conferences (ICSE, FSE, Middleware, CSMR, etc.). I have been involved in several EU and national funded research projects. More recently, I have served as a principal investigator on behalf of  the University of Ioannina in the ForeverSOA INRIA project, and the CHOReOS FP7 ICT IP project.
