This volume deals with the prospect and "evolution" of Computer Science, which has become the operating system of our society. From individual to collectives, economics, politics, and society, Computer Science influences all spheres of our life. Its pervasive nature lays the foundations to an overarching technological environment carrying an inherent unprecedented potential for change. In the following, we use the terms Computer Science and Informatics—not being totally correct—synonymously. As we use Kristen Nygaard's definition from the 1980s (there are many more, and quite differing ones): "Informatics is
the science that has as its domain information processes and related phenomena in artifacts, society and nature," Informatics (or Computer Science) is not anymore about a specific device, i.e., a computer, it is (or has become) a foundational discipline.
