45 | P á g i n a
 WHAT IS INFORMATICS?
Informatics is the study of the structure, behaviour, and interactions of natural and engineered
computational systems. It has computational, cognitive and social aspects. The central notion
is the transformation of information - whether by computation or communication, whether by
organisms or artifacts.
Understanding informational phenomena - such as computation, cognition, and communication
- enables technological advances. In turn, technological progress prompts scientific enquiry.
The science of information and the engineering of information systems develop hand-in-hand.
Informatics is the emerging discipline that combines the two.
In natural and artificial systems, information is carried at many levels, ranging, for example,
from biological molecules and electronic devices through nervous systems and computers and
on to societies and large-scale distributed systems. It is characteristic that information carried
at higher levels is represented by informational processes at lower levels. Each of these levels
is the proper object of study for some discipline of science or engineering. Informatics aims to
develop and apply firm theoretical and mathematical foundations for the features that are
common to all computational systems.

THE SCOPE OF INFORMATICS

In its attempts to account for phenomena, science progresses by defining, developing, criticising
and refining new concepts. Informatics is developing its own fundamental concepts of
communication, knowledge, data, interaction and information, and relating them to such
phenomena as computation, thought, and language.
Informatics has many aspects, and encompasses a number of existing academic disciplines -
Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Computer Science. Each takes part of Informatics
as its natural domain: in broad terms, Cognitive Science concerns the study of natural systems;
Computer Science concerns the analysis of computation, and design of computing systems;
Artificial Intelligence plays a connecting role, designing systems which emulate those found in
nature. Informatics also informs and is informed by other disciplines, such as Mathematics,
Electronics, Biology, Linguistics and Psychology. Thus Informatics provides a link between
disciplines with their own methodologies and perspectives, bringing together a common
scientific paradigm, common engineering methods and a pervasive stimulus from technological
development and practical application.
Three of the truly fundamental questions of Science are: "What is matter?", "What is life?" and
"What is mind?". The physical and biological sciences concern the first two. The emerging
science of Informatics contributes to our understanding of the latter two by providing a basis
for the study of organisation and process in biological and cognitive systems. Progress can best
be made by means of strong links with the existing disciplines devoted to particular aspects of
these questions.

46 | P á g i n a
 COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS
Computational systems, whether natural or engineered, are distinguished by their great
complexity, as regards both their internal structure and behavior, and their rich interaction with
the environment. Informatics seeks to understand and to construct (or reconstruct) such
systems, using analytic, experimental and engineering methodologies. The mixture of
observation, theory and practice will vary between natural and artificial systems.
In natural systems, the object is to understand the structure and behavior of a given
computational system. The theoretical concepts underlying natural systems ultimately are built
on observation and are themselves used to predict new observations. For engineered systems,
the object is to build a system that performs a given informational function. The theoretical
concepts underlying engineered systems are intended to secure their correct and efficient design
and operation.
Informatics provides an enormous range of problems and opportunities. One challenge is to
determine how far, and in what circumstances, theories of information processing in artificial
devices can be applied to natural systems. A second challenge is to determine how far principles
derived from natural systems are applicable to the development of new kinds of engineered
systems. A third challenge is to explore the many ways in which artificial information systems
can help to solve problems facing mankind and help to improve the quality of life for all living
things. One can also consider systems of mixed character; a question of longer term interest
may be to what extent it is helpful to maintain the distinction between natural and engineered
systems.

Parts and furniture of the house

Hello!! I am Robert, I am from San José Costa Rica. I live with my parents and my sister in a
white concrete house in the countryside of San Ramon. The house is not big but I like it very
much. Now I am going to describe my house.

In my house there are three bedrooms upstairs, one for my parents, one for my sister and one
for me. In my bedroom there is a bed, a lamp, a night table and a rug. I do my homework and
spend time reading comic books in the bedroom.

The bathroom and the living room are downstairs. In the bathroom there is a bathtub, a
washbasin, a toilet, a shower and a mirror. My sister Laura loves to clean the bathroom.

In the living room, there is a lovely fireplace, two armchairs, a sofa, a television and a coffee
table. We love to spend time in the living room watching movies at night.

Next to the living room is the kitchen. The kitchen is not modern but is has a new refrigerator
and a beautiful stove. In the same kitchen we have the dining room with a dining table, chairs
and a cabinet. My mom loves to prepare pizza and delicious chocolate cakes in the kitchen.

At the back of the house there is a beautiful garden with different plants and flowers. My father
waters the plants all the afternoons.

Finally, the last part is the garage. In the garage we can see my father’s car, my bike and some
tools, every Sunday the family cleans and arrange the garage.

I love to enjoy spending time in the house with my family!!

Robots

When will we have robots? We already have many kinds of robots! Industries use a variety
of robots and now robots are becoming more common in the home.

The Husqvarna company makes a lawn mowing robot called the Auto Mower. The robot has
sensors that detect where objects are in the yard and it maneuvers around them. The robot can
cut the grass while you relax on the patio with a glass of lemonade! Also, Eureka now makes
a robotic vacuum cleaner. Like the robot lawn mower, the vacuum cleaner automatically
detects where the furniture is and vacuums around it.

Cars are becoming robots now that many cars have GPS (Global
Positioning Systems) on them. A car with a GPS system can give
you directions on how to go somewhere, tell you where the closest
gas station is, and, some day in the future, will drive itself. You
will take a nap or read while the car drives itself to your
destination.

We even have robotic pets now. The Sony company makes a robotic dog named Aibo that
can sit, stand, and walk like a regular dog but can also communicate and take pictures! Aibo
understands certain commands, like a dog does, such as "Sit down", "Stand up", "Turn right",
etc. If you ask Aibo a question such as "How old are you?", its eyes will flash the number of
years old it is. Aibo is also a great guard dog. He can patrol the yard and take pictures with a
built in camera of anything suspicious.
