Explanation Capability of Neural Networks

I have been doing litterature search on the subject of "Explanation
Capability of Neural Networks/ Rule extraction of NN's", and came with
the following bibliography:

Please, I would be glad if anybody can guide me to more litterature/ web
pages/ resources in this area.
