Roy,
        The Plant/Induce work was done by Ryzard Michalski at the
University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. The paper I have is:

Michalski, R.S., and Chilausky, R.L.  Learning by being told and learning
from examples: an experimental comparison of the two methods of knowledge
acquisition in the context of developing an expert system for soybean
disease diagnosis. International Journal of Policy Anaysis and Information
Systems, Vol 4, No. 2, 1980.

        I believe he also published a version in 1981 in the International
Journal of Man-Machine Studies.

        If you are interested in systems that learn rules automatically,
you might also want to look at Peter Politakis' SEEK system described in
Artificial Intelligence, January 1984.
