ENGLISH

1. Informatics
Informatics can be synonymous with:
1. Informatics (academic field), a broad academic field encompassing human-computer interaction, information science, information technology, algorithms, and social science
- Computer science, the study of complex systems, information and computation using applied mathematics, electrical engineering and software engineering techniques.
- Information science, the study of the processing, management, and retrieval of information
2. Information technology, the study, design, development, implementation, support, or management of computer-based information systems
3. Informatics (software company), a software company

Note 1:
What is Informatics? (Source: University of Michigan, http://informatics.umich.edu)
"Think Facebook, automobile navigation systems, clinical trials, online marketing, internet searches, medical imaging, risk assessment, disaster preparedness and response, financial market analysis, DNA analysis, artificial intelligence, internet security, online community organizing, smartphone applications, digital archives, medical records storage and retrieval, political polling, supply chain management, real-time weather maps, etc. The applications are endless.
Informatics combines solid grounding in computer programming, mathematics, and statistics, combined with study of the ethical and social science aspects of complex information systems. Informatics majors learn to critically analyze various approaches to processing information and develop skills to design, implement, and evaluate the next generation of information technology tools.
Informatics graduates are well prepared for many roles in business, research, government, and non-profit organizations. Depending on the track of study completed, graduates are also equipped with the academic background necessary for graduate study in many fields including computer science, business, education, information, statistics, law, medicine, public health, and natural and social sciences."

Note 2: Attracting (more) students to the Informatics discipline (ppt)
www.informatics-europe.org/docs/Venice-Dec2008.ppt
http://www.informatics-europe.org
Informatics was:
-about computing, data processing and process control
- centered once around mainframes and mini’s
Now is:
- about designing and creating processes and systems and their interactions with the world
- centered around networks, embedded systems and intelligent (information/software) environments
- critical in everything (science, business, society)
- used by everyone, everywhere
- business domain of many information and software companies (large and small)
- major factor in economy, innovation and of ICT policies
- challenging future ethics, privacy, security
- major intellectual discipline of this century (cf Constable 2005) and.. a household word!

2. Computer Science (CS)
Computer science or computing science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science, the study of complex systems, information and computation using applied mathematics, electrical engineering and software engineering techniques.
Areas of computer science:
- Theoretical computer science /Theory of computation
- Algorithms and data structures
- Computer elements and architecture
- Multiprocessing
- Computational science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Software Systems

Ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

3. Information Technology (IT)
Information Technology defines an industry that uses computers, networking, software programming, and other equipment and processes to store, process, retrieve, transmit, and protect information. IT spans wide variety of areas that include but are not limited to things such as processes, computer software, computer hardware, programming languages, and data constructs.

“Information science is an interdisciplinary field concerned
with the theoretical and practical concepts, as well as
the technologies, laws, and industry dealing with knowledge
transfer and the sources, generation, organization, representation,
processing, distribution, communication, and uses of
information, as well as communications among users and their
behavior as they seek to satisfy their information needs.”

“Information science is the study of how information
is used, acquired, organized, and evaluated by humans.
Defined this way, it is essentially synonymous with “informatics”
as it used in the context of health/biomedical
informatics in the United States. A key point is that it focuses
on information as opposed to technology.”

"Information science is an interdisciplinary field encompassing
all aspects of data from data generation via measurement
and observation, through data capture, analysis, representation,
organization, evaluation, storage, transformation, presentation,
protection, and retention. Note that ‘Data’ can be
used as a collective noun in English. As such it can and
should be used to imply a set of symbols, and would be
preferable to using ‘information’ in such a narrow context
(Rush & Davis, 2006). (Charles H. Davis [12])"
