"Loosely speaking, informatics is a synonym for computer science, and hence informatician is a synonym for computer scientist. The "info" words have an advantage: they express the insight that informatic behavior is wider than what computers do, or what computing is." - Robin Milner.
"The European synonym for computer science - informatics - more clearly suggests the field is about information processes, not computers" - Peter Denning
