Informatics, Information Science, and Computer Science

In this paper, we draw a distinction between information and computer sciences in terms of their objects and directions of research. In terms of the operating mode, we distinguish among automatic, automated, semi-automatic, and assistant systems and show that in each application domain there can be different configurations of these systems at different periods of time. In addition, we analyze the engineering, linguistic, and mathematical levels of domain-specific research and development, formulate their problems, and discuss promising directions.
