Informatics is a young science with a very young name. In Germany,
the word Informatik was first used in this context in 1968 by GERHARD
STOLTENBERG (1928–2001), at that time a federal government minister,
at the opening of a conference in Berlin2, not long after informatique had
been coined3 in France on 19th January 1968 and subsequently used4 by
the Académie Française. Since then corresponding terms have become
common elsewhere in Europe: Dutch informatika, Italian informatica,
Spanish informatica, Polish informatyka, and Russian informatika.
Meanwhile, the English-speaking world generally prefers to avoid it altogether
in favor of computer science5, which has a more strongly theoretical
connotation. For the purpose of this book we will use the word
‘informatics’ in its ‘European’ sense.
