Development of an Intelligent System Prototype Intended for Accounting in Forestry Entities

Prototyping plays a very important role for the development of an intelligent system, it allows determining the optimal structure of knowledge base and do not consume all the resources necessary to develop an entirely intelligent system. Our work shows the methodology for developing such a prototype. We made this application in order to simulate intelligent reasoning of an professional accountant from forestry. Romanian accounting knowledge, held by professionals with experience in accounting or forestry, was acquired and stored in a knowledge base, able to provide suggestions to optimize economic decisions in forestry. The results of this study are useful for researchers in the fields of decision-support systems, knowledge management, forest units management, management of information technology (IT). Also, our study is useful to intelligent solutions developers and forestry managers, given the detailed presentation of new available IT solutions.
