I am trying to put together a formal model of the knowledge aquisition/ elicitation process used in developing rule-based expert systems. I currently have such sources as a full description of MYCIN, exerpts from AI magazine, the AI handbook and two books (different) entitled "Knowledge Acquisition for Expert Systems". My aim is to come up with some formal paramaters along which automated knowledge acquisition techniques can be scaled, and possibly to describe a technique which rates highly along these paramaters. I am looking for recent sources (books, articles, papers, etc.) which either describe the KA methods used in developing a specific ES, or outline present KA techniques. Please e-mail your responses, and I will post if there is significant interest. e-mail to: NHAUS@eagle.wesleyan.edu Thank you!

Might I suggest the book, "Knowledge Acquisition," Brule' & Blount, McGraw-Hill 1989. In it we describe a methodology for knowledge acquisition which is based on cybernetic learning theory and clinical psychology. ~~~Jim Brule' -- //\//\\ //\//\\ //\//\\|"Soon we'll sliding down \// // \\// // \\// // \| the razor blade of life."

There is a European methodology for developing expert systems, called KADS.

I suggest that you look through recent editions of the International
Journal of Man-Machine Studies.
