About

Overview

George Spanoudakis is Professor of Software Engineering at City University London and Director of the Centre of Adaptive Computing Systems (CeNACS). 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 Head of the Department of Computing at City (2004-2007), Associate Dean for Research of the School of Informatics at City (2010-2014) and member of the Council of University of Piraeus (2013-17). Professor Spanoudakis has also also held visiting posts at University of Crete (1999), London School of Economics (1999), University of Essen (2001), University of Malaga (2008), ICS-FORTH (2016) and the University of Cyprus (2017).

Professor Spanoudakis works in the broad field of software systems engineering. In 2000, he established the Software Engineering Research Group at City research group (SE@City) and led it until 2014 when the group became part of the Centre for Adaptive Computing Engineering (CeNACS).

His current research interests focus on software systems security (with particular focus on assessing system security compliance and risk, security certification and security-by-design) and biomedical computing. He has published extensively in the areas of his research (more than 180 peer reviewed publications) and has obtained more than 80m Euro in collaborative research funding.

He has also been the principal investigator of several research projects including the EU Horizon 2020 projects CYBERSURE (2017-20), EVOTION (2016-19) and TOREADOR (2016-2018); the EU F7 projects EMBalance (Dec 2013 - Nov 2016), 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); and the EU F6 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 Int. Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, Int. Journal Of Web Services Research, Int. Journal Of Service Computing, 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 180 international conferences and workshops. He has also chaired SEKE 2006, SEKE 2007, IE4SOC 2009, AWC 2014, ENASE 2017, ENASE 2018, and IEEE ICDS 2021.

  • Cyber security risks: Comprehensive mitigation through technical, contractual and financial mitigation mechanisms (Keynote speech). Federated Conference in Computer Science and Information Systems 2019 (FedCSIS 2019) Leipzig, Germany (2019). The ever increasing sophistication and intensity of cyber security attacks requires organisations to make use of not only on up-to-date, state of the art security controls for their systems but also other complementary security risk mitigation mechanisms, including, for example, security service level agreements (CSLAs), cyber insurance policies (CIPs) and effective cyber security training. The orchestrated use of such risk mitigation mechanisms, requires organisations to develop a good understanding of the risk landscape that they need to address, as well as of the effectiveness, benefits, cost and complementarities of the available alternative mechanisms whether they are purely technical such the traditional security controls, or contractual and financial such as CSLAs and CIPs, and eventually make rationalised decisions about using the right mix of them. This keynote presentation explores this complex decision making problem and outlines directions towards a systematic approach in tackling it.

Television programme

  • News programme. Hellenic Parliament TV City University London Professor of Software Engineering, Professor George Spanoudakis gave a presentation on Smart City technologies to the Research and Technology Committee of the Hellenic Parliament on 4th December. The presentation covered technologies and key research with an emphasis on security, data analytics, and the economic and social prospects arising from the emergence and use of smart city technologies. It also provided an overview of opportunities arising for R&D cooperation between the public, private, local government and academic/research sectors.

    The event was covered was covered in the news of the TV channel of the Hellenic parliament on 5/12/2014 and was fully broadcasted on 10/12/2014. The relevant video is available from the digital video archive of the Hellenic Parliament channel at:
