   First, look in the AI directory of the Ada Software Repository
   (email to ADA-SW-REQUEST@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for details);
   there is an expert system already written, which can be had for
   the cost of sending mag tapes to the Repository and back.  Also,
   there have been a number of conferences specifically on the topic
   (e.g., AIDA '89, the Fifth Annual Conference on Artificial 
   Intelligence & Ada), and the proceedings of those conferences
   might prove to be most useful.  Try contacting AIDA@GMUVAX.GMU.EDU,
   or write the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University.
