| Overview Information technology is a dynamic technology that has sparked the development of many new products and new services. The last decade of 20th century had witnessed Information Technology (IT) emerge as the most prominent technology to have a revolutionary affect on the lives of people across the world. During this period, IT engineers and scientists have earned a high degree of esteem around the world for their highly professional and innovative contribution to the technological advancements in this field. IT has become essential to all businesses. Hardware, software, and communication systems are now part of most business operations. Informatics, information science, is a discipline that deals with the processes of storing and transferring information. It attempts to bring together concepts and methods from various disciplines such as library science, computer science and engineering, linguistics, psychology, and other technologies in order to develop techniques and devices to aid in the handling-that is, in the collection, organization, storage, retrieval, interpretation, and use-of information. It encompasses computers, software, telecommunications products and services, Internet and online services, and systems integration. Established in 1995, the College of Informatics at Yuan Ze consists of the Department of Computer Engineering and Science, Department of Information Management, Department of Information Communication, Department of Information Management Technology, Department of Information Networking, and the Graduate School of Social Informatics. The College works with industry, research, and government organizations to make this technology more usable, more secure, more scalable, and more interoperable than it is today. We develop the tests and test methods that both the developers and the users of the technology need to objectively measure, compare and improve their systems. |
