Τα επιστημονικά ενδιαφέροντα του Γιάννη Φίλη περιλαμβάνουν:

α.   Στοχαστικά μοντέλα δικτύων παραγωγής, γραμμές μεταφοράς, ευέλικτα βιομηχανικά συστήματα (FMS), εφαρμογές ασαφούς λογικής στα συστήματα παραγωγής και συστημάτων αναμονής. 

β.   Περιβαλλοντικά συστήματα, αειφόρος ανάπτυξη.

Ερευνητικά επιτεύγματα:

 ·        Ο Γιάννης Φίλης και οι συνεργάτες του έχουν αναπτύξει ένα πρωτοποριακό μοντέλο ανάλυσης και σχεδίασης γραμμών παραγωγής αυθαίρετης γεωμετρίας και μεγάλων διαστάσεων. Τα δίκτυα είναι αναξιόπιστα και οι αφίξεις και οι χρόνοι κατεργασίας κομματιών παραγωγής είναι τυχαίοι. Ο στόχος είναι να υπολογισθούν, μεταξύ άλλων, η μέση παραγωγή, τα αποθέματα, και οι χρόνοι που το δίκτυο δεν παράγει και να σχεδιασθεί το δίκτυο βέλτιστα. Η ακρίβεια του μοντέλου είναι σχεδόν τέλεια  και η υπολογιστική του ταχύτητα κατά πολύ ανώτερη άλλων υπαρχόντων μοντέλων. Ελληνικές εταιρείες και η Ford Motor της Αγγλίας έχουν χρησιμοποιήσει το σχετικό λογισμικό το οποίο επίσης έχει παρουσιασθεί στη Διεθνή Έκθεση Θεσσαλονίκης.

Το μοντέλο χειρίζεται την ταχεία δυναμική με ανάλυση και τη βραδεία με προσομοίωση. Μέχρι να παρουσιασθεί το μοντέλο αυτό, οι μηχανικοί χρησιμοποιούσαν για τον ημερήσιο προγραμματισμό της παραγωγής προσομοίωση που απαιτεί ώρες ή ακόμη και ημέρες υπολογιστικού χρόνου και επομένως είναι άχρηστη, ή ανάλυση που είναι πολύ ανακριβής. Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο απαιτεί υπολογιστικούς χρόνους δευτερολέπτων ή λεπτών και η ακρίβειά είναι μεγαλύτερη του 95%. Ένα διευθυντικό στέλεχος της Ford Motor στο Dagenham απεκάλεσε το μοντέλο «θαυματουργό» μετά τη χρήση του στην παραγωγή κινητήρων Jaguar. 

Η εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζεται στο βιβλίο: Kouikoglou and Phillis, “Hybrid Simulation Models of Production Networks,” Kluwer, New York, 2001.

·        Στην ίδια περιοχή της αυτοματοποιημένης και ευέλικτης παραγωγής, ο Γιάννης Φίλης έκανε πρωτοποριακή έρευνα με την επίλυση δύο βασικών προβλημάτων με τη χρήση της ασαφούς λογικής: τον υπολογισμό της ευελιξίας και τον έλεγχο ροής και δρομολόγησης ουρών. Μαζί με τους συνεργάτες του ανέπτυξαν το σχετικό λογισμικό, φιλικό προς τον χρήστη. Η χρήση ασαφούς λογικής και στα δύο προβλήματα έγινε για πρώτη φορά και κατέληξε σε απλές λύσεις.

·        Η έρευνά του Γιάννη Φίλη στον έλεγχο ουρών αναμονής σήμανε μια τελείως πρωτότυπη εφαρμογή της ασαφούς λογικής. Οι παραδοσιακές τεχνικές ελέγχου όπως ο δυναμικός προγραμματισμός έχουν μικρή αποτελεσματικότητα σε πολύπλοκα, μη μαρκοβιανά δίκτυα. Η νέα μεθοδολογία έχει ήδη οδηγήσει σε λύσεις άλυτων ως τώρα προβλημάτων και υπόσχεται ν’ ανοίξει νέους δρόμους στον έλεγχο συστημάτων αναμονής.

Η εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζεται στο βιβλίο: Z. Runtong, Y. A. Phillis, and V. S. Kouikoglou, "Fuzzy Control of Queuing Systems," Springer, New York, 2004.

·        Το τελευταίο πεδίο έρευνάς του είναι η ποσοτική εκτίμηση της αειφορίας. Πρόκειται για μια περιοχή ύψιστης σημασίας στην οικονομία και την πολιτική. Έχει ήδη αναπτύξει ένα πρακτικό μαθηματικό μοντέλο, το οποίο μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί από αποφασίζοντες και πολιτικούς για να υπολογίσουν τον βαθμό αειφορίας μιας χώρας ή περιοχής και να εστιαστούν στους παράγοντες εκείνους που την επηρεάζουν τα μέγιστα.

Αειφόρος ανάπτυξη είναι όρος του συρμού για τους πολιτικούς, οικονομολόγους και περιβαλλοντολόγους, αλλά όλοι μιλούν για διαφορετικά πράγματα. Τώρα, για πρώτη φορά αναπτύχθηκε ένα πλαίσιο με πολύ μεγάλο αριθμό παραμέτρων που ορίζει και υπολογίζει αριθμητικά την αειφορία με τη χρήση ασαφούς λογικής και άλλων αναλυτικών εργαλείων. Μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για τον υπολογισμό της αειφορίας μιας οικονομίας και να οδηγήσει στις αποφάσεις εκείνες που θα την βελτιώσουν.

Αυτό το μοντέλο είναι από τα πρώτα του είδους του σε μια περιοχή που τα μαθηματικά μοντέλα σχεδόν απουσιάζουν. Η κατάταξη των περισσότερων χωρών του κόσμου παρουσιάζεται ετησίως στην ιστοσελίδα www.sustainability.tuc.gr . Αυτό το υλικό απετέλεσε τη βάση μαθημάτων που δίδαξε στο Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης, το UCLA, το University of South Florida, και το University of Denver. Μεγάλος αριθμός ερευνητών έχουν κάνει μνεία του μοντέλου και το χρησιμοποιούν σε πολλά μέρη του κόσμου.

Η εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζεται στο βιβλίο: Y. A. Phillis, and V. S. Kouikoglou, “Fuzzy Measurement of Sustainability,” Nova Science, New York, 2009.
