Responsible for the Architectural Design, Development and final Commercial Deployment of a multifunctional 3rd party software Central Management Platform (Client-Server Topology) that supports AT, VT, AT/VT session management in a BOSCH Digital Congress Network Switching Center.Feb 2013: Successful Deployment of Customized Parliamentary Attendance Registration and Open Parliamentary Voting 3rd Party Platform, interconnected with the existing BOSCH DCN (LBB 3585 Installation SW Version) Center. This platform offers the ability of a fast, accurate and fully controled (combined AT/VT) smart card Delegate voting rounds in respect to the Greek Parliamentary Legislation Framework. Plarform fully adopts the DCN individual AT, individual VT and combined AT/VT protocol sessions giving system user the ability to initiate, manage, pause/restart and properly terminate Attendance Registartion and Open Electronic Voting processes. It also encapsulates a user friendly GUI and a supplementary Database Management - Support Mechanism - for the automatic recording and post management of Attendance & Voting Results. System Implementation Related Protocols:1) SRS_SCSIINF2) SRS_ICINF3) SRS_VTINF4) SRS_ATINFPlatform also supports the interconnection of a certain number of Client Nodes with Administrative privilages on underaken AT, VT and AT/VT sessions integrating Greek Parliament Chairman and Secretarial support management rights.Finally platform supports a prorietary LCD distributed informative system focusing on the proper notification of session participants/delegates for the progress of evolving session.

G. Stephanopoulos has designed and implemented several products and software tool kits during these 5 years.1) Azimuth Steering System User Service (ASSUS)An advanced management toolkit for subcontractor in the field of Antenna Commissiong Procedure. ASSUS offers the ability to manage the first Fasmetrics' robotic antenna steering device based on a proprietary communication and control protocol. It also allows commissioning technician to apply predefined Sectors' planning azimuth values and to configure Fasmetrics' RAS devices in a single step reducing the amount of time required for a complete Sector setup.2) Fasmetrics Advanced Optimization Software (FAROS)A complex and multifunctional platform (covering planning, commission, maintenance and monitoring) for the Local & Remote Control Administration, Management and proper Configuration of patented Robotic Steering Systems for Wireless Networks named SONAR. (for supplementary information please visit Fasmetrics official website www.fasmetrics.gr).3) SONAR relative Testing and Analysis PlatformTesting platform is dealing with the automation of SONAR functional verification before systems commercially introduction. FAROS testing and analysis plarform offers the ability to analyse SONAR behaviour under low, medium and high stressing conditional patterns and functional procedural sequences. This platform offers both symantics and syntactic protocol analysis, for the proprietary control protocol of Fasmetrics', dealing with SONAR's Local Control Unit.4) fOSS Tablet Edition fOSS is an extremely powerfull suite dealing with the Control of all ALD types (RAS, RET, TMA etc) based on AISG 1.1, 2.0 & 2.1 communication standards. This new platform focuses on the introduction of a new methodological approach of Wireless Site Commissioning, Management and Monitoring, that wishes to enormously reduce the civil engineering and subcontractors effort for commissioning a new Cluster or Site.

G. Stephanopoulos has also designed and implemented an evolutionary P-SMSG stand alone software that provides the ability of sending and receiving Short Message Service Messages in Office Base without using the websms mechanisms. This tool also controls an individual GSM/GPRS Modem and performs SMS exchange throughout local wireless operators' networks. Infogate is a commercial tool reffered to Pucblic & Private Service Companies which gives them the ability to increase communication capabilities using Text Marketing powerfull advantages.It offers an extremely high QoS and Security Level Standards with less than 1% CFR (Call Failure Rate). Security Levels are equal to a common Voice or Data Service in common wireless GSM/GPRS networks. Messages are transfered as typical SMS from the wireless modem equipment and no internet packet transmission is taking place as in does in websms. SMS Destinator is receiving the message on its Mobile Equipment and is sure that no extra tariff/charging policy has taken place. Infogate exploits the benefit of full consumption of sms that mobile operators offer to their customers giving an extremely fruitful user ROI (Return On Investment).(for more information please visit Infoshift LTD web site: www.infoshift.gr)

His research interests focus on the provision and testing of signaling services in 3G networks and in the development of Load and Stress Testing devices for the evaluation of 3G core networks.G. Stephanopoulos work as one of the main system engineers (RND, design, developement) of IASON platform, a novel, flexible and highly efficient system capable of operating as a uniform evaluation platform, able to measure the performance of networks of diverse technology, such as, ISDN, SS7, ATM, GPRS, 3G UMTS, IP as well as the services provision and any type of inter-operability among them. The IASON evaluation platform makes it possible to bridge the gap in evaluation systems by providing the ability to measure the performance of heterogeneous network technologies (i.e. GPRS, 3G UMTS and ATM, ISDN) and offer the ability to measure the quality of services over diverse network technologies. The IASON solution exhibits an open architecture that is meant to be fully flexible, as it is a single system able to connect to a wide range of telecommunication networks For more information visit: http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=PROJ_ICT_TEMP&ACTION=D&CAT=PROJ&RCN=60655

This system has been deployed for Greek Parliament and works as a third party software platform that enhances BOSCH Central System with extra Attendance and Registration Functionality for Requested Delegates via smart cards and smart card readers on Senators desks. Platform manages all incoming Attendance Requests (initiation-management-handling of embedded BOSCH's communicative protocol) and provides a chronical based priority list for future management throughout a graphical user representation and finally in a printable form. It also also controls an external distributed informative digital display system for the accurate notification of session involving Senators regarding their current registration status.This a cooperative project of CSI SA - Inaccess Networks SA . started at 2004.
