One of the major obstacles to the design and implementation of knowledge-based systems has been the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. A considerable amount of both basic research and application effort have gone into an analysis of this problem. This two volume series represent s a compilation of these diverse efforts as reported at the first annual Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge--Based System s Workshop, held in Banff, Canada (November, 1986). While all of the papers are of the calibre that deserve mention, space precludes a review of all. As a best alternative-the general subjects covered and those papers which were unique, or offered unusual coverage of an interesting topic are presented in more detail. Volume 1 in this series ( Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge--Based Systems ) describes research in three major areas: the cognitive aspects of expertise, the pragmatic aspects of knowledge acquisition skills, as well as, teaching those skills and, finally, inductive learning approaches to knowledge acquisition.
