Dear Boris I'm not sure what your specific area of interest is. Both knowledge bases and system theory cover such a wide spectrum. If I were you I'd read the citations in the Wikipedia article you found and also try sources like http://www.iassistdata.org/publications/bibooks.html The people responsible for the papers listed below, both authors and conference organisers, may be able to tell you about more recent papers Good hunting! Title: Machine-Readable Data Bases in Libraries: Criteria for Selection and Use Authors: Williams, Martha E. Keywords: Reference services (Libraries) --Automation Database searching Online bibliographic searching Information retrieval database selection Issue Date: 1975 Publisher: Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Citation Information: In The use of computers in literature searching and related reference activities in libraries : papers presented at the 1975 Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, April 27-30, 1975, ed.

Series Name / Report no.: Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing (12th : 1975) Abstract / Summary: Traditionally, libraries have been the source of stored information the collective memory of a community or a civilization. In recent years, with the proliferation of publications and governmental involvement in research, machine-readable data bases have evolved as separate entities which store in indexed and abstracted form much of the current information found in libraries. As the quantity of recorded information increases, libraries are, and will be increasingly, forced to rely on these machine-readable data bases to search the accumulated knowledge if they are to retrieve it efficiently or at all. Some libraries are now providing data base search services to their patrons; many more are considering it.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Citation Information: In The use of computers in literature searching and related reference activities in libraries : papers presented at the 1975 Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, April 27-30, 1975, ed. F.W. Lancaster. Urbana, Il: Graduate School of Library Science: 111-126. Series Name / Report no.: Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing (12th : 1975) Abstract / Summary: This paper aims to present an overview of the use of machine-readable data bases in Australia. (A summary of some commerically available services is given in the Appendix.) I will discuss the Australian scene in the light of some problems which are, if not unique to, certainly aggravated by the Australian environment. These include problems of geography and population distribution, formulation of national information policy, government support of research and development, and the Australian telecommunications network. Plans expounded during the last four years have aroused an unprecedented interest among librarians. Unfortunately, progress to date has been disappointing.
