Computer and information science (CIS) is a field of study that focuses on maximizing the effectiveness, speed and security of communications. This field integrates computing and information sciences (including informatics). Computing involves the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes and development of hardware and software. Informatics refers to the study of the behavior, interactions and structure of any system that generates, stores, processes, and presents information. Computer science focuses on the use of technology for problem-solving whereas information science focuses on problem solving by organizing, sharing, and interpreting information. Some of the major areas of study within this field are computer algorithms and computational logic, computer architecture and programming theory. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of computer and information sciences which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, it targets students and professionals.
