Abstract

A systems engineer looking at information sees informatics. That means ‘the design, construction, evaluation, use and maintenance of information processing systems including hardware, software, organizational and human aspects as well as the complex of their industrial, commercial, administrative, social and political impact’. (The 1978 IBI‐UNESCO Conference on ‘Strategies and Policies for Information’).
