  PROTEGE was the subject of my Ph.D. dissertation, and represents a
metalevel knowledge-acquisition tool that generates other
knowledge-acquisition tools that are custom-tailored for particular
application areas.  There are not yet any journal articles in print
describing the work, although a paper on PROTEGE appears in the
Proceedings of the 1988 Workshop on Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge
Based Systems (Banff, Canada).  The most thorough description of PROTEGE
is in my dissertation ("Generation of Model-Based Knowledge-Acquisition
Tools for Clinical-Trial Advice Systems," Stanford University, January,
1988).  Although I have no more copies available for distribution, the
dissertation can be ordered from University Microfilms (phone
800-521-0600).
  
  A good description of the RIME methodology appears as a chapter by Judy
Bachant in a collection just edited by Sandy Marcus entitled "Automating
Knowledge Acquisition for Expert Systems" (Kluwer, 1988).
