Abstract

The approaches of S. Gorn and Yu. Shreider to the integration of computer and information sciences in order to form a unified area of knowledge, i.e., "computer and information science," are compared. A description of the characteristic features of this area of knowledge, which is the scientific basis for the development of the future generation of information technologies, is given. Conceptual and policy documents of the 7th Framework Program of the European Union are considered in which the necessity of reconsideration of the theoretical foundations of the development of new information technologies is demonstrated. One of the possible options for their reconsideration on the basis of Gorn and Shreider's ideas is presented.
