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. I suggest that you look through recent editions of the International Journal of Man-Machine Studies. Mike Bender
