An Analysis and Forecast of Software and Services Research in Bulgaria – Comparing the Situation Two Years Later

Abstract

In [1], we have published the results of our analysis of software and services research in Bulgaria during the 2004-2008 time period. This analysis was part of the activities performed within the EU FP7 SISTER project. By using the same methodology, which is expanded now with some new features, we started analyzing a new period – 2009-2010. In this paper we compare the results obtained for both periods (overcoming their different duration trough a simple data transformation). The first results obtained show an intensification of the research work in the majority of the subject areas in view with a few new appearing now. The analysis is planned to be finalized in the next few months.
