The purpose of the Second Symposium on Empirical Foundations of
Informa tion and Software Science (EFISS) was, in essence, the same
as that of the First Symposium in this series, i. e. to explore
subjects and methods of sci entific inquiry which are of
fundamental and common interest to information and software
sciences, and to map directions of research that will benefit from
the mutual interaction of these two fields. In fact, one of the
most important results of the First EFISS Symposium was the
conclusion that the commonality of these two sciences is much more
than just the commonality of their objects of study, namely, the
study of informative and prescriptive properties of texts in all
kinds of sign sys tems (such as natural or artificial languages).
Rather, the most challeng ing problems appear to be in the areas in
which both these sciences overlap, such as, for instance, the
problem of trade-offs between informative and prescriptive uses of
texts. This problem can be formulated in generic terms as follows:
given a certain kind of action or activity which has been pre
scribed to some agent, i. e. which is required to be implemented or
carried out, what kind of information should be provided to the
agent, in what form, and how should it be distributed over the
contextual structure of the pre scriptive text to enable the agent
to carry out the action or activity most effectively and
efficiently."
