Short Biography

George Spanoudakis is Professor of Software Engineering and Associate Dean (Research) of the School of Informatics of City University London. He is also a member of the Council of University of Piraeous (Greece). He holds a BSc degree in Informatics (Athens University of Economics & Business Science, 1988), an MSc degree in Advanced Methods in Computer Science (Queen Mary College-University of London, 1989) and a PhD in Computer Science (University of Crete, 1994). Prior to his current post, he had been a lecturer (1997-99), senior lecturer (1999-2004) and reader (2004-06) at City University. He had also been the Head of the Department of Computing at City from 2004 to 2007 and held visiting posts at University of Crete (1999), London School of Economics (1999), University of Essen (2001) and University of Malaga (2008).

Professor Spanoudakis works in the broad field of software systems engineering, leading the Software Engineering at City research group (SE@City). His current research interests focus on service oriented computing, cloud computing and software systems security (with particular focus on assessing system security compliance and risk, and security certification). He has published extensively in the areas of his research (more than 120 peer reviewed publications) and has obtained more than 4.8m Euro of external research funding. He has also been the principal investigator of several research projects including the EU Framework 7 projects CUMULUS (Certification Infrastructure for Multi-Layer Cloud Services, Oct 2012- Sep 2015), ASSERT4SOA (Advanced Security Service Certificates for SOA, 2010-13), IoT-at-Work (IoT technology in manufacturing, 2010-2013, co investigator), S-CUBE (Software, Systems and Services Network of Excellence, 2008-12) and SLA@SOI (Empowering the Service Economy with SLA-aware Infrastructures, 2008-11), the EU Framework 6 projects SERENITY (Systems Engineering for Security and Dependability, 2006-08), PEPERS (Mobile Peer-to-Peer Security Infrastructure, 2006-08), SECSE (Service-centric System Engineering, 2004-2008), GREDIA (2006-2009, co-investigator), and the EPSRC project IMOOSD (1999-2000).

Beyond research, he has been providing consultancy advice to private companies, public funding bodies, universities and standardisation bodies.

He has also been serving as a member of the editorial boards of international journals, including International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering. The Scientific World Journal (Computer Science Domain), Int. Journal On Advances in Intelligent Systems, Int. Journal On Advances in Security, and Int. Journal On Advances in Software , and the programme committees of more than 130 international conferences and workshops. Currently, these include ICSOC 2013, SCC 2013, ICWS 2013, SOCA 2013, Cloud Computing 2013, Workshops ICSE 2013, SEKE 2013, HAS 2013, WorldCIST 2013, SECURWARE 2013, DEPEND 2013 , SAPSE 2013, and Intensive 2013, and Cyberpatterns 2013. He has also been the programme committee co-chair of SEKE '07 and SEKE '06.
