Research and Publications
In terms of research output the School of Science and Technology currently comprises nine tenured faculty members, four academic associates, and the Dean of the School.
The School's areas of expertise thus lie in areas relevant to our graduate programmes: Information and Communication Technologies (wireless & sensor networks, smart grids, energy efficient networking & Green ICT, optimization and control theory artificial intelligence, ontologies & semantic Web, data mining, sentiment analysis); Energy Technologies (solar thermal systems, renewable energy sources, life cycle analysis, energy policy & management, computational fluid dynamics); and energy Economics & finance, macroeconomics and behavioral finance.
The School expects to grow even further in the coming years with the placement of even more permanent teaching and research faculty as well as with the introduction of PhD students from mid-2014 onwards.

Smart IHU
Overview
The Smart International Hellenic University (Smart IHU) project is a research project in the field of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) for sustainable growth, energy efficiency and better quality of life. This is an area of research and development included in the Strategic Research Agenda of the European Union (EU). The aim is to transform the IHU to a ‘Smart’ University with automated processes, enabling Smart Building-Smart-Grid technology, i.e., remote monitoring and management, energy and data analytics, energy efficiency, and providing support for educational activities, an initiative which will find reflection in the e-learning provisions offered by IHU. The outcomes of the Smart IHU project are expected to support MSc theses and scientific publications in the domain of wireless sensor/actuator networks, decision support systems, web services, energy efficiency, smart grid algorithms and renewable energy sources.
The project incorporates the following research directions:
- Deployment of Wireless Sensor/Actuator Networks (WSN) for remote monitoring and Management. Wireless platforms of ZigBee, WiFi and ZWave are mainly considered.
- Integration of the wireless platforms using Semantic Web Services.
- Application of the WSNs for Energy Analytics, Energy Efficiency and Management, Optimization and Automation.
- On line data presentation for e-Learning.
- Green Datacenter- Monitoring the energy efficiency of the datacenter of the International Hellenic University.
- Smart Grid- Support of Smart Building/Smart Grid technologies and algorithms for demand response.
- Development of sophisticated algorithms. Decision Support Systems (DSS), Ontologies, AI Planning.
