An accomplished Bulgarian software developer landed Monday the prestigious John Atanasoff Award.
Svetlin Nakov, who heads the Bulgarian Association of Software Developers (BASD), received the award from the head of state at a special ceremony in his office.
The John Atanasoff award was set up last October for special achievements in the field of computer engineering, and named after the Bulgaria-descended man who invented the computer. It was presented for the first time in 2003.
John Atanasoff, who is son of a Bulgarian immigrant from Bulgaria's village of Boyadjik in the Yambol Region, built the world's first electronic digital computer at US Iowa State University during 1937-42 together with his assistant Clifford Berry.
Their creation incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing and separation of memory and computing functions.
