A table of interfaces of informatics as computer and information science

Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of the approaches of S. Gorn and Yu. Shreider on the integration of computer and information sciences in order to form informatics as a conceptual unified computer and information branch or a group of branches of science. The purpose of the integration is to make informatics a theoretical foundation for the development of new information and communication and other converging technologies, as well as for prediction of capabilities of their future generations. In this paper, we construct a table of the interfaces of informatics as a computer and information science for the productive implementation of the predictive function of the table. By definition, the diagonal cells of the table describe domain objects of informatics, while the remainder of the cells are used for interfaces between objects. The table contains cells for the already known interfaces, such as the ones that are inherent to human-computer interactions. There are empty or partially filled cells for theoretically possible but thus-far unstudied objects and interfaces of both informatics and other branches of science that use information and communication and convergent technologies.
