The notion of informatics

Initially, the information conveyed through direct conversations, speeches, or chat. Then indormasi stored in benruk writings, graphics, or images, and conveyed indirectly. Storage is then evolved with the use of recordings suaram movies, and video. Rapid development of computer technology and its integration with the communication technology to produce management and transmission of information in large scale and high-speed and then enter the era of information (information age) that have a similar impact with the industrial revolution in the early 20th century.

Today many developed countries, especially the United States, has specializes in information processing for export. The development of traffic information reflects the role of informatics from time to time. Why science informatics or change information learned?



The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy of an object, situation or circumstances in a closed system never goes down. Entropy is a measure of disorder. In other words many people believe in the complexity of the irregular (unorganized complexity) Gmail service with a closed system. For example, those associated with forest enterprises increasingly complex and irregular, it is unclear to which direction you want to go. Or if we observe the state of society, we feel they tend to increasingly more complex and not well organized so that we are all moving towards disorder, which if we can not mengeremnya would be Chaos. This is the second law of thermodynamics, which is still continues to be the basis for a variety of biophysical analysis of both issues and social problems.


The increase in entropy is consistent with the theory of information developed by Claude E. Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1940's. Shannon (1916-2001) is widely known as the "Father of Information Theory." Is generally accepted that the birth of information theory Shannon article publication entitled The Mathematical Theory of Communication in the Bell System Technical Journal in July and October 1984.
The article following up previous publications Haryy disampakan by Nyquist and Ralph Hartley.


Some definitions of informatics. Here is a definition-definition of informatics that are often used are taken from various sources:


a. Science and art to transform data into information.
b. Studies on the application of computer and statistical techniques into management information.
c. Application of computer science and information science in management and data processing, information
and knowledge.
d. Collection and organization of information using computers and statistical methods.
e. Science is considering the collection, manipulation, classification, storage, and retrieval re-recorded
    knowledge,
f. Techniques and practitioners who are used to manage and implement systems and technologies
information,
g. Storage, manipulation, analysis, and visualization of information on computer,
h. The use of science and technology to provide data, information, and knowledge to
interests of individuals and organizations,
i. Studies relating to the collection, manipulation, storage, and retrieval
information is classified and recorded,
j. Directory where the files live and thrive.






Definition-definition is adequate depict classical informatics but not enough to overshadow the latest developments of informatics. With the development of informatics bergam derivatives such as engineering informatics, social informatics, informatics economic, and political informatics, needed more definition is more adequate.


Disciplines to produce, organize, and communicate information and understand the resulting impact.


Informatics with with computer science, but have different pressures. Computer science from various sources is defined as:


a. Discipline that involves the understanding and design of computer and data processing,
b. Discipline that takes into account the methods and automatic data processing techniques,
c. The study of computation,
d. Discipline that discusses the synthesis and analysis of algorithms, representations of information, process
data communications, resource allocation methods, and languages are wearing.


Computer science is more emphasis on computer hardware such as computer design, how to process data processing automation, and so forth. In some sources, computer science is also called Information Technology. I think that opinion is not quite right. Computer Science is more emphasis on computer software such as programming, database, and so forth. Although such developments are very important information after the computer as a computational tool widely available on the market.
