Abstract

Artificial intelligence Competitive intelligence Costs Fuzzy systems Information technology Intelligent agent Intelligent systems Internet Java Pricing
The extremely fast development of software tools in the last few years has opened a completely new perspective for computing systems. The emergence of commuting languages such as Perl and Java has made possible the development of online systems running as cross-platform programs. We present an example of such systems: a commuting system for cost analysis. The system provides an analysis of the cost structure of a firm and can be accessed through the Internet as an online application. The aim of the application presented in this paper is to perform product pricing evaluation. The fuzzy system evaluates an initial product pricing which is the result of a contribution margin entered by the user. After iterative cycles, the system reaches a pricing decision; the latest decision is such that a contribution margin correction is no longer necessary. At this point, the fuzzy system returns a pricing suggestion to the user. This answer is associated with a contribution margin value and with a rate of return forecast.
