The Department was established on 01/01/2020 after the liquidation of the Institute of Computer Science. It was established after the merger of the Department of Computer Graphics, Vision and Simulation and the Microinformatics and Theory of Digital Systems Team. The leading discipline of the Department's employees is Technical IT and telecommunications.

The Computer Graphics, Vision and Simulation Team was created as part of the Institute of Computer Science in April 2013 thanks to the initiative of the then Team Leader, Prof. Konrad Wojciechowski. In September 2014, it was renamed the Department, and prof. Andrzej Polański.

The Microinformatics and Theory of Digital Systems Team is derived from the Digital Automation Theory Team, which in the years 1971-1977 operated within the Institute of Industrial Automation and Measurements at the Faculty of Automatic Control. As a result of the reorganization of the Faculty and the establishment of the Real Time Computer Science Institute, the Team was incorporated into this Institute. In 1984, the Team, and later the Department of Microinformatics and Theory of Digital Automata, was incorporated into the Institute of Computer Science.
