Issue No. 59 (December 2009 – January 2010)
 Stelios Eliakis, Eleni Zampou and Katerina Pramatari Information sharing and interoperability is a key ingredient for any system that participates in Service oriented architectures (SOA) and wants to communicate and exchange information with other partners. Although, there are many technologies that support interoperability, there is no research which extracts and aggregates the requirements of a system, the necessary architecture entities and tools. In this chapter we review the constraints and the principles that affect architecture design and the research efforts about interoperability infrastructures. Finally, we propose a set of architecture entities and tools that can enable, support and maintain interoperability in heterogonous, dynamic and constantly changing environments.

 The Department of Management Science and Technology was established in 2000. The Department's program of study has been designed to prepare high-caliber professionals for enterprises and organizations, who will be capable of efficiently dealing with the complexity of current and future technological, economic and social challenges. Therefore, the emphasis of the study program falls on the multi-disciplinary integration of technological, economic and managerial scientific areas. More specifically, the purpose of the program is the education of executives with basic knowledge of management science, supplemented with knowledge and skills in the management and use of information technologies, as well as the necessary organizational, strategic and leadership skills. With this mix of knowledge and skills, they will be able to efficiently take operational decisions and implement strategies, a task that, by its very nature, requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The differentiation and originality of this Department's program of study consists in the integration of modern quantitative and technological infrastructure with the highly developed managerial knowledge and skills offered to students. This allows Department graduates to be particularly competitive in the job market, since they will have the ability to efficiently handle multifaceted managerial and business issues in the rapidly changing, strongly competitive and technologically developed environment. Undergraduate students can follow one of the following specializations (by choosing appropriate courses in the 6th and 7th Semester): -
Information Systems and E-Business -
Business Strategy and Human Resources -
Supply Chain and Sales Management -
Quantitative Methods in Economics and Management -
Business Administration
The program is based on the most modern educational and learning methods, such as the pervasive use of computers and Internet (a complete e-learning infrastructure) simulations games, groupwork, case studies, role-playing, etc. An innovation of the program is the 8th Semester "Internship Project" where students spend 4 days/week in a company in a real-life project. Courses are integrated, where appropriate, with hands-on laboratory assignments carried out in the two dedicated laboratories of the department (60 seats of total capacity). The Educational Computing Laboratories for the department's students support the latest products in business technology and enterprise applications and offer Information Technology support to over 30 courses. Furthermore, in the framework of the European Program of Inter-University Exchanges, Socrates - Erasmus, students have the opportunity to study in corresponding Departments of other European Universities such as: The Norwegian School of Economics and Business, Universite Catholique de Louvain, University of Umea and others. Every year more than 20 graduates follow post-graduate studies in leading Universities in Greece and abroad including: MIT, LSE, University of Cambridge, Oxford University, UMIST, Erasmus University, Columbia University, Imperial College etc. The Department offers the following postgraduate programs: -
MBA International (with five specializations in Management Science, E-Business, Transport and Logistics, Financial Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and New Enterprise Management). This is attended by more than 120 postgraduate students each year from Greece and abroad (both full-time and part-time). The courses are taught in English and the program is accredited by AMBA. -

Targeted at executives of Enterprises and Organizations who are already graduates with at least 4 years management experience, and wish to upgrade their scientific background and managerial skills, without having to interrupt their career. -
