At Manchester University he was Professor of Information Systems Engineering since 1990 and served twice as Head of the Department of Computation.
Professor Loucopoulos’s research interests focus on the provision of information processing systems that support large, complex and dynamic organisational systems. Theoretical results derived from his research work are applied on industrial scale problems in a variety of domains, for example, banking, utilities, governmental, etc. His work has been supported by numerous research grants totalling in excess of €4.2 million, funded by the EPSRC in the UK, by the Commission of the European Communities and by industry.
He is the co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Requirements Engineering (http://springerlink.metapress.com), the associate editor for Information Systems (http://ees.elsevier.com/is/) and serves on the editorial boards of the Information Systems Journal (www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/isj/), the Journal of Computer Research (http://cs.okstate.edu/~ijcr/editorial.html), the Business Process Management Journal (www.emeraldinsight.com/bpmj.htm), the International Journal of Computer Science & Applications (http://www.tmrfindia.org/ijcsa/editor.html), the WSEAS Transactions on Computers (http://www.worldses.org/journals/computers/), the International Journal of Computing and ICT research and e-informatica (http://www.e-informatyka.pl/journal/e-Informatica).
He is a member of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the ER Approach and of the Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), and serves on the European Advisory Board of the AIS SIG on Systems Analysis and Design (http://teweiwang.net/sigsand/officers.htm).
