Abstract

There is observed the evolution of Internet systems that combine features of both technical and economic aspects. In this context, there appears a problem with respect to solutions related to modeling and the management of different aspects of system organization. The article thus employs hybrid system based on fuzzy modeling to identify dependencies between user’s characteristics and digital goods evaluation for the purpose of developing a dynamic pricing system.
