Brief biography

Dr Mouratidis received his B.Eng (Hons) in Electronics with Computing Science from the University of Wales, Swansea; his M.Sc. in Data Communications and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Sheffield, England. He has also received a Postgraduate Certificate on Teaching and Learning from the University of East London. He is currently a lecturer at the School of Computing, Information Technology and Engineering at the University of East London, England.He is member of the Software Design and Development Field of the Schol of Computing and Technology, teaching and leading modules associated mainly with software engineering and security.

His research interests lie in the areas of agent oriented software engineering, security engineering, and multiagent systems and he is participating in many projects related to these topics such as the Tropos project, and the AUML project. He has published over 30 papers in international journals and conferences such as Information Systems, AAMAS, AOSE, and CAiSE. His PhD thesis on capturing security requirements during the development of multiagent systems was the first to identify main problems of modelling security issues in multiagent systems throughout all the development stages, and provide a method to consider some of these problems. He has served at the programme committee of various conferences and workshops related to agent technology and information systems, such as AAMAS, AOSE, AOIS, IEEE/WI and IEE/IAT, and he has co-initiated the international workshop on safety and security in multiagent systems series. Dr Mouratidis is a representative of the agentlink for the School of Computing, Information Technology and Engineering, University of East London.
