Back home it also went through changes.

1. AOP - automatska obrada podataka - automatic processing of data
2. EOP - elektronska obrada podataka - electronic processing of data
3. ERC - elektronski računski centar - electronic calc center

The two companies I had founded back home have boosted the phrase "informatički inženjering" (informatic engineering). The French name for CS - informatique - has caught lot of ground there, though I'm not sure the computer science is really a science, and that it means exactly the same as informatique. Also, "engineering" was used as a buzzword to mean "solution providing".
