Biography:Mike Papazoglou

Michael (Mike) Papazoglou (born December 2nd, 1953) is a Greek/Australian emeritus professor and computer science researcher considered as a key promulgator of 'Service-Oriented Computing' His main research interests include Distributed computing, Database, Big data, Service (systems architecture), Domain-specific language and Cloud computing. In more recent years he shifted his focus to pursuing Emerging technologies, Industrial engineering, Smart Applications and Smart Technology Solutions for Healthcare and Manufacturing.

Education and Academic Career

Papazoglou obtained his Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering, with honors in Electronic Engineering in 1978, from the University of Dundee, and his MSc and Ph.D in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Edinburgh and University of Dundee, in 1979 and 1983, respectively. He is an Alexander S. Onassis Foundation scholarship recipient for his PhD studies.

During his early career, Papazoglou served as Principal Researcher and Project Leader at the National German Society for Mathematics and Data Processing GMD and as an adjunct professor at the University of Koblenz and Landau. He then joined the Australian National University, in Canberra, Australia as a Senior Lecturer and subsequently as a Reader in Computer Science. Following this, he became Full Professor & Head of Information Systems School at the Queensland University of Technology, in Brisbane. From 1996 until March 2020 he held the Chair of Computer Science at the Tilburg University Tilburg University, where he was the founder and the Executive Director of the European Research Institute in Services Science (ERISS). Presently, he is an Emeritus Professor at Tilburg University.

Research

Papazoglou is an author of the most highly cited papers in the area of service engineering and Web services worldwide with a record of publishing 23 (authored and edited) books, and over 250 scientific journal papers and prestigious peer-refereed international conference articles. His expertise lies in identifying research needs, developing research priorities, formulating research and evaluation strategies and directing personnel for the same.

Papazoglou early work was in Parallel computing, Federated database system, Database design Methodologies, Semantic data model and Cooperative Systems where he published extensively. He subsequently, expanded his work in the area of e-Business Integration where he published a widely used textbook, and, Business Process Compliance From the late 90s he focused his research work in the areas of Service Oriented Computing , and Cloud Computingand coined the term Service Oriented Computing.

Papazoglou developed a number of novel service theories, principles, technologies and methods that ensure a holistic approach to services research and published the very first textbook of its kind on Web Services In more recent years, he focused his work in pursuing Emerging Technologies, Smart Applications and Smart Technology Solutions for Manufacturing, and Healthcare. In Smart Manufacturing he made contributions to product engineering, product lifecycle management, smart manufacturing networks, while in Smart Healthcare he made contributions to Big Data and AI technologies for Digital Healthcare and Medical Digital Twins.

Finally, he established local 'pockets of research excellence' in service science and engineering in several European countries, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. He set up mechanisms for achieving a common vision of 'strategic software service research domains' and associated road-maps, co-founded and was the scientific director of the acclaimed European Network of Excellence in Software Systems and Services (S-Cube), which comprised 33 EU research institutes spread over Europe.

Recognition

Papazoglou is a co-founding editor of the MIT Press Book Series in Information Systems and for the Springer Science%2BBusiness Media Book Series in Service Science and a golden core member and distinguished visitor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Computer Society.

He has chaired 18 prestigious international conferences in his topics of interest and has served in various editorial capacities for several scientific journals and as an evaluator/appraiser and adviser for several governments and national research bodies around the globe. He has also secured research grants by research councils worldwide and industrial sources.

He was additionally honored with features in the Marquis Who's Who: in the World, in Science and Engineering, and in Information Technology. In 2021 he was presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award for having excelled in in his field of expertise for over 20 years.
