Ioannidis has authored more than 100 publications in international conferences and journals, as well as book chapters, including ACM CCS, ACM/IEEE ToN, USENIX ATC, NDSS, and has both chaired and served in numerous program committees in prestigious international conferences. Ioannidis is a Marie-Curie Fellow and has participated in numerous international and European projects. He has coordinated a number of European and National projects (e.g. PASS, EU-INCOOP, GANDALF, SHARCS) and is currently the project coordinator of the THREAT-ARREST, I-BiDaaS, BIO-PHOENIX, IDEAL-CITIES, CYBERSURE, and CERTCOOP European projects.

Prof. Andreas Pitsillides is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Cyprus, heads NetRL, the Networks Research Laboratory he founded in 2002, and is appointed Visiting Professor at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), School of Electrical and Information engineering, Johannesburg, South Africa. Earlier (2014-2017) Andreas was appointed Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Science, South Africa. His broad research interests include communication networks (fixed and mobile/wireless), Nanonetworks and Software Defined Metasurfaces/Metamaterials, the Internet- and Web- of Things, Smart Spaces (Home, Grid, City), and Internet technologies and their application in Mobile e-Services, especially e-health, and security. He has a particular interest in adapting tools from various fields of applied mathematics such as adaptive non-linear control theory, computational intelligence, game theory, and recently complex systems and nature inspired techniques, to solve problems in communication networks. Published over 270 referred papers in flagship journals (e.g. IEEE, Elsevier, IFAC, Springer), international conferences and book chapters, 2 books (one edited), participated in over 30 European Commission and locally funded research projects as principal or co-principal investigator, received several awards, including best paper, presented keynotes, invited lectures at major research organizations, short courses at international conferences and short courses to industry, and serves/served on several journal and conference executive committees.
