INFORMATICS
Creating change and fundamentally altering the information landscape by:
  • channeling the application of computing and information technology to real-world issues and problems.
  • impacting society by answering questions and providing solutions across a broad spectrum of disciplines including the arts, humanities, and the natural, biological, and social sciences.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES are available for the public through the creation of central Web search engines and the opening of broad avenues of access to information previously available only to those with advanced training.

Study, research, development and instruction centered on information-based processes have become more commonplace. Broadly, these include:

  • acquisition, structure, management, retrieval and dissemination of information in a variety of forms and contexts and
  • distillation of that information into knowledge.
