Abstract
Scientific and technical research is in a state of continuous flux. Sectors once considered to be strategic become obsolete, while new and promising fields appear. There are bottlenecks, points of obligatory passage, obsolescent sectors, areas of growth and areas of fusion between previously separate domains of research, while external factors are of frequent importance. The importance of the analysis of the dynamics of science and technology is scarcely in doubt and it has, accordingly, attracted much interest.
