Informatik ist eine breit aufgestellte Disziplin, mit einer umfassenden theoretischen Fundierung und mit einer großen Anzahl differenzierter Anwendungsbereiche. Deren gemeinsamer Kern liegt darin, Probleme mit dem Computer bzw. mit komplexeren Computersystemen zu lösen.

Finally, we needed to stop the noise and just be.But now as we are mo...
