   The best book that I have seen in this area is "Principles of Artificial
   Intelligence and Expert Systems Development" by David W. Rolston, 
   published by McGraw-Hill.  His heuristics are very clearly delineated
   in the chapters as "Principle number: ... text ...".  It would be
   an interesting exercise for a college class to turn the principles into
   an expert system advisor for aspiring knowledge engineers.
