Morgan Kaufmann Publishers is developing a major new book on knowledge based systems for publication in late 1991 or 1992. In order to make this book as useful as possible we would like reactions to its content, organization and approach from academic and industrial professionals in the knowledge based systems community. We will need a range of help from informal surveys to continued involvement on successive drafts of the manuscript. We are interested in hearing from: 1) Professors teaching undergrad or grad courses on expert/knowledge based systems or general AI courses with a strong KBS approach who could participate by reviewing manuscript, class testing, or other activities. 2) Knowledge based/expert systems industrial professionals who could critique the manuscript from the perspective of the professional knowledge system builder. If you are interested please send mail to morgan@unix.sri.com and let us know whether you are teaching courses in the area or are building systems in industry. We will then send you more information on the book along with a questionnaire regarding your areas of expertise and the amount of involvement you would like to have. Michael B.
