I am presently a senior at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. I am starting work on a thesis on expert systems, which is a challenge because our comp sci department includes NO-ONE experienced in the field, and there are no courses offered on the subject. So, I'm looking for sources and help in two areas: 1) Basic and standard references of ES- eg, texts which are used as standards in the field and give a good, up-to-date delimitation of what is expected from ES, as well as standard examples of ES systems. I need these because, basically, I have to teach myself as much as possible about ES before the end of October. 2) The most recent developments in ES- sp. articles and people which are at the forefront NOW. Our library subscribes to _Artificial Intelligence_, but beyond that sources are scarce; but, if I have the names of journals and articles, I can get them from Yale. The general thrust of this thesis is deriving a theoretical framework for an ES which will INTERACTIVELY generate a knowledge and rule representation. Any specifics along these lines will also be greatly appreciated. _____________________________________________________________________________ I'm not corporate affiliated, but if you can find someone else for me to blame my opinions on, let me know. I _need_ a scapegoat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NHAUS@eagle.wesleyan.edu -Nik
