With the advance of knowledge, new disciplines are succesively identified. Computer Science has its roots in Babbage and others, but was identified as a separate discipline during the last century, when there was enough body of knowledge and when there was a need to have specialists mastering the knowledge developed around computers and computing. The thesis of this paper is the proposal of Telematics as a distinctive discipline, a discipline that shares a lot with Computer Science and with Electrical Engineering, but whose body of knowledge deserves being identified as such, since it is today already big enough and is expected to grow even more in future.
