This is kind of getting into weird semantics.
For what it’s worth I hold a BSc from a large, reputable UK university in computer science, not informatics, so it’s not as universal as you suggest.
I do also hold an undergraduate degree from a French university in informatique, a contraction of “information automatique”. Both words are equally important in the name of that discipline, and the “automatique” part is very much about process.
But we are debating the map here, not the territory.
- erikerikson 5y agoThank you for the correction, I should have used softer language. My sample size is small but my edit link is gone. To clarify my meaning, I don't mean to contradict process being core to the field but rather that process is within what I consider a more broad scope for the theory of information. While we could talk about the process involved in proving the equivalence of an automata to a language it feels like a stretch to call the fact of their equivalence a part of the study of process itself. If you're game, I'm curious what seems weird about the semantics? Not just the map but the terms written on it. :D
