About

Panos Kostakos is a leading researcher at the intersection of telecommunications, cloud computing, and software engineering, with a primary focus on the architecture of next-generation mobile networks. His most-cited work, "6G System architecture: A service of services vision" (2022, 31 citations), offers a groundbreaking perspective on the techno-economic transformation of mobile networks. Kostakos articulates how the fusion of telecommunications with cloud technologies—what he terms "Telco Cloud"—is reshaping system design by integrating software engineering principles into traditional network architectures. This work has been pivotal in framing 6G not merely as an evolution of connectivity but as a service-oriented ecosystem. Beyond this, his contributions span the broader domains of network virtualization, edge computing, and intelligent service orchestration, influencing both academic research and industry standards. With a growing citation footprint, Kostakos is recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical network design and practical, scalable implementations. His vision continues to inspire researchers and engineers working toward the seamless convergence of telecom and cloud worlds.
