Information and Computer Science (ICS) or Computer and Information Science (CIS) (plural forms, i.e. ''Sciences'', may also be used) is a field that emphasizes ''both'' computing and informatics, upholding the strong association between the fields of information sciences and computer sciences and treating computers as a tool rather than a field. Information science is one with a long history, unlike the – relatively – very young field of computer science, and is primarily concerned with gathering, storing, disseminating, sharing and protecting any and all forms of information. It is a broad field, covering a myriad of different areas but is often referenced alongside computer science because of the incredibly useful nature of computers and computer programs in helping those studying and doing research in the field – particularly in helping to analyse data〔http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty/jason.frand/teacher/technologies/palace/datamining.htm〕 and in spotting patterns too broad for a human to intuitively perceive. Computer science, on the other hand, is less focused on information and its different states, but more, in a very broad sense, on the use of computers – both in theory and practice – to design and implement algorithms in order to aid the processing of information during the different states described above. It has strong foundations in the field of mathematics, as the very first recognised practitioners of the field were renowned mathematicians such as Alan Turing. ==Computing Paradigm== Due to the distinction between computers and computing, some research groups wholly replace "computer" with "computing" or "Datalogy", creating names such as Computing and Information Science. Languages may also entirely omit the association: for example, computer science in French is known as ''informatique''. Other ways in which this science is with the term ICT (information and communications technology). The difference here is that information and computer science looks at how computers use and gain information whereas ICT looks at hos we communicate with using machines and computers. A main key aspect which is commonly misconstrued is that computer science is all about coding and programming when in actual fact this is a small part of it; for example computer science is also the study of logic and low level problems.When people think of the word computers they think of Google, Facebook and Twitter but this is only a small faction of a very new science. This is why people have only heard of the main products and have yet to notice the informatics side to computer science; which is key. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Information and Computer Science」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
