Abstract

The history of the computer science department at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences since 1963 is briefly described. Starting with small groups of enthusiastic people initiating the new for Bulgaria research in the field of Informatics, nowadays the department can report some significant achievements. The paper presents some of them in three areas—software quality evaluation and management, data mining and semantic analysis, information systems and communities—which mark some key areas of research during the years.
