Workshop Chairs
Dr. Vasos Vassiliou, University of Cyprus and RISE Research Center on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies
Dr. Vassiliou is an Assistant Professor and the co-Director of the Networks Research Laboratory at the Computer Science Department of the University of Cyprus. He is also the Group Leader of the Smart Networked Systems Research Group of the newly formed RISE Center of Excellence on interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging technologies, situated in Nicosia, Cyprus. He did undergraduate studies at the Higher Technical Institute (HND Electrical Engineering, 1993) and the University of South Florida (B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, 1997), and graduate studies with a partial CASP scholarship from the Cyprus Fulbright Commission at the Georgia Institute of Technology (M.Sc., 1999 and Ph.D., 2002 in Electrical and Computer Engineering). Dr. Vassiliou’s current research work is in the Next Generation Networks and Internet of Things domain, where he and his team work on Security, Mobility, Traffic Congestion and Flow-control, and Data Management issues. He is a member of IEEE and ACM, the Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Cyprus Chapter, part of the IBM Academic Initiative, and the Academic Advocate for the ISACA Cyprus Chapter. He was General co-chair of NTMS 2016, VC of MSWiM’12, TPC co-chair of ICT 2017, MELECON 2016, ISCC 2015, PWSN 2015, PWSN’14, PWSN’13, Med-Hoc-Net’12, PWSN’12, PWSN’11, Workshops Chair of DCOSS 2015, Tutorials co-Chair of ISSPIT 2016, and TPC member of several international conferences, such as GLOBECOM, ICC, PIMRC, VTC, WCNC and others.Dr. Zinonas Zinonos, Neapolis University of Paphos
Dr. Zinon Zinonos is a Lecturer at the Computer Science Department of the Neapolis University Pafos. He is also a co-director of the Intelligent Systems Research Lab. His research interests include IoT, wireless, ad hoc and sensor networks, mobility management in low power devices, adaptive topology control, intelligent systems, security in IoT and smart cities. He has published articles to journals and presented his work at several conferences organized by the computer science and communication networks community.Dr. Loizos Michael, Open University of Cyprus and RISE Research Center on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies
Dr. Loizos Michael is an Associate Professor at Open University of Cyprus, where he founded and directs the Computational Cognition Lab, while also serving as the academic head of the cross-institutional M.Sc. Program in Cognitive Systems. He is a founding member of the Research Center of Excellence RISE, within which he leads the research pillar on Artificial Intelligence and Communications and the research group on Socially-Competent Robotic and Agent Technologies. His research focuses on the development of formal computational models for cognitive processes associated with individual or collective intelligence, drawing inspiration and using techniques from computational learning theory, knowledge representation and commonsense reasoning, and formal argumentation. He received a B.Sc. in Computer Science with a minor degree in Mathematics from University of Cyprus, graduating top of the class of 2002, and receiving the Republic of Cyprus Presidential Award. He continued his education at Harvard University, where he received an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) in 2008, under the supervision of Leslie Valiant. Before joining Open University of Cyprus in 2009, he held a visiting faculty appointment at University of Cyprus. Among others, he served as the PC chair of the 15th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence in 2016, and he has been organizing a workshop series on Cognitive Knowledge Acquisition since 2015.Dr. Stelios Timotheou, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, University of Cyprus
Dr. Stelios Timotheou is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a faculty member at the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, of the University of Cyprus. He received a B.Sc. from the Electrical and Computer Engineering School of the National Technical University of Athens, and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London. In previous appointments, he was a Research Associate at KIOS, a Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Cyprus, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on analysing data and making informed decisions in challenging environments, with the purpose of enhancing efficiency and delivering new capabilities in situational awareness and decision making. Towards this direction, he develops customised, real-time, distributed and cooperative methodologies and algorithms, drawing on theory from mathematical optimization, machine learning, statistical data processing and computational intelligence. The main application area of his research is critical infrastructure systems, with emphasis on intelligent transportation systems and wireless communications. Dr. Timotheou is the recipient of the 2017 ‘Cyprus Young Researcher in Physical Sciences & Engineering’ Award, by the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation. He is a member of ACM and a Senior Member of IEEE. He served as the Local Arrangements Chair of the European Control Conference in 2018, and as a Technical Committee Member in several international conferences and workshops including IEEE ICC, Globecom, WCNC, MASCOTS and ACM MobiHoc and MobiCom.Technical Program Committee
