I am trying to put together a formal model of the knowledge aquisition/
elicitation process used in developing rule-based expert systems. I currently 
have such sources as a full description of MYCIN, exerpts from AI magazine, 
the AI handbook and two books (different) entitled "Knowledge Acquisition for 
Expert Systems". My aim is to come up with some formal paramaters along which 
automated knowledge acquisition techniques can be scaled, and possibly to 
describe a technique which rates highly along these paramaters.

 I am looking for recent sources (books, articles, papers, etc.) which either
describe the KA methods used in developing a specific ES, or outline present KA
techniques.

  Please e-mail your responses, and I will post if there is significant
interest.
  e-mail to: NHAUS@eagle.wesleyan.edu

  Thank you!
