[Journal] introducing myself

[Dimitris Kotzinos]

Dear all,

my name is Dimitris Kotzinos and I would like to introduce myself in the 
Journal community since I offered my services to it (and after Tyler's 
suggestions)!
Before submitting to you some educational and professional data I would 
like to state that my current research interests include :
design and development of Web Based and Mobile GIS (the whole range from 
data transmission to UI),
web based information systems including web services' based ones,
semantic GIS and semantic web GIS (in terms both of data and 
applications) and also
algorithms for solving in real time classical GIS problems from shortest 
path to traffic management.

Having as briefly as possible described that, I include hereafter some 
educational and professional information:
Education
•	May 2001: Ph.D., Department of Production and Management Engineering, 
Technical University of Crete, Chania, Crete, Greece. Dissertation 
titled: “Application of digital map technologies on developing internet 
based Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)”. My Ph.D. thesis was 
done in cooperation with the Dynamic Systems and Simulation Laboratory 
of the Department of Production and Management Engineering of the 
Technical University of Crete and the Institute of Applied and 
Computational Mathematics (IACM) of the Foundation for Research and 
technology – Hellas (FORTH) under the supervision of Prof. Markos 
Papageorgiou and Dr. Poulicos Prastacos respectively.
•	June 1996: Master of Science (M.Sc.), Department of Civil and 
Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science, The Ohio-State 
University, Columbus, OH, USA. Thesis titled: “Design and Implementation 
of Parallel Time Dependent Least Time Path Algorithms for Intelligent 
Transportation Systems (ITS) Applications”. Supervisor: Athanasios 
Ziliaskopoulos.
•	July 1994: B.Sc. in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, 
University of Crete, Heraklio, Greece. (Grade: Very Good - 7.11).
Professional
•	October 2007 - today: Assistant Professor, Department of Geomatics and 
Surveying, TEI of Serres, Greece.
•	October 2005 - today: Associate Researcher, Institute of Computer 
Science, Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (ICS-FORTH).
•	October 2002 - August 2007: Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of 
Computer Science, University of Crete.

 From the available Journal needs I could probably fill the "Editor, 
Developer Announcements" place or if possible I would be happy to see 
the creation of a column/part in the Journal about "Semantic Web and 
GIS", since I believe that we will see a lot of it in the coming future.

Best regards to all,

Dimitris
