Abstract :
The use of intelligent techniques has become one of the most exciting and promising application areas. In the paper, we try to utilize neural networks and GAs to construct an intelligent sales prediction system for making a prediction regarding sales of an electronic part three months ahead. Further, we briefly touch upon our trials including: utilization of GAs, TD-learning method etc., in order to improve the proposed system
