The main task of the Informatik Spektrum is the publication of up-to-date, applicable information on technical and scientific progress in all areas of computer science and its applications. It also reports on projects and case studies that point to future trends.
The computer science spectrum is primarily aimed at readers who want to familiarize themselves with new areas of computer science, further their education and gain an overview. The target group is therefore not only trained computer science specialists, but also practitioners who follow the scientific development of computer science in addition to their day-to-day work, and students at universities of applied sciences or universities who want to gain insight into the tasks and problems of practice.
