In this capacity, he helped link existing European research strengths in service science and engineering while helping to build new competence for multi-disciplinary, collaborative approaches to addressing challenging and significant research and education problems in this field. Moreover, Dr. Papazoglou developed mechanisms for co-operation across Europe so as to achieve a common vision of strategic service engineering research domains and associated R&D road-maps.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Papazoglou's primary research interests have included software modeling, design and development, distributed computing systems, database and information systems, large data integration and management, big data analytics, e-business integration, software services, cloud computing, and business process management. Furthermore, he has shifted his attention to pursuing emerging technologies, industrial engineering, product engineering, product lifecycle management, smart applications and smart technology solutions for healthcare and manufacturing. Notably, Dr. Papazoglou is considered as one of the original advocates of Service-Oriented Computing.
Dr. Papazoglou’s research efforts have been disseminated through well over 200 articles in various scientific journals and international conferences as well as more than 20 books. He has also flourished in various editorial capacities for several scientific journals. Additionally, Dr. Papazoglou authored such books as “Relational Data Management” in 1989, “e-Business Fundamentals: Organizational and Technical Infrastructure” in 2006 and “Web Services & SOA: Principles and Technology” in 2012.
Dr. Papazoglou has held multiple academic appointments throughout his 40-year career, including at the University of Koblenz in Germany, the Australian National University, Queensland University of Technology in Australia and Fernuniversität in Hagen, Germany. He was also recruited as a researcher and international project leader at the National German Research Institute of Computer Science GMD in Saint Augustin, Germany, as well as a reader at the Australian National University. During his tenure with the Queensland University of Technology between 1991 and 1996, Dr. Papazoglou was a full professor, the head of School of Information Systems and the director of the Cooperative Information Systems Research Center.
Dr. Papazoglou has also maintained his involvement as a reviewer for several national and international committees throughout many continents, including the North America, South East Asia, Australia and Europe. He was acclaimed as the chairman of several international conferences as well as the co-founder of the international conferences on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS) and Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC). He was further noted as the co-founder of the monograph book series for MIT Press in Information Systems and for the Springer-Verlag book series in Service Science. Supported by various professional memberships, Dr. Papazoglou is a golden core member and distinguished visitor of the IEEE's Computer Society.
In light of his outstanding accomplishments, Dr. Papazoglou secured a Research Excellence grants from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, as well as additional research grants from the National Dutch Research Council, the Australian Research Council and the European Commission. He was additionally honored with features in Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and Who’s Who in the World.
