- CER-10
CER (Serbian: Цифарски Електронски Рачунар - "Digital Electronic Computer") model 10 was a
vacuum tube andtransistor basedcomputer developed byMihajlo Pupin Institute (Serbia ) in1960 (4),(5)] . This was the first computer ever [http://www.bos.org.yu/cepit/evolucija/html/1/TEMA2/e-potencijali.htm (1)] developed inSFRY .CER-10 was designed by prof. dr
Tihomir Aleksić [http://www.bos.org.yu/cepit/evolucija/html/1/TEMA2/e-potencijali.htm (1)] and associates (Rajko Tomović, Ahmed Mandžić,Nedeljko Parezanović , Petar Vrbavac, Vukašin Masnikosa, Milojko Marić and Dušan Hristović) and developed over the period of three years. The team is said to have included 10 engineers, 10 technicians and many others [http://www.mikro.co.yu/arhiva/tekst.php?broj=695 (3)] . After initial prototype testing it was fully deployed in1963 .First CER-10 was situated in SIV-DSUP building which later belonged to
Tanjug . [http://user.sezampro.yu/~dejanr/refer/pc85sof.htm (2)] . March 2006 theInstitute gave the case and parts of CER-10 to the Museum of Science and Technology inBelgrade , where it will eventually be displayed.__NOTOC__
