This paper uses Bayesian vector autoregressive models to examine the usefulness of leading indicators in predicting US home sales. The benchmark Bayesian model includes home sales, the price of homes, the mortgage rate, real personal disposable income, and the unemployment rate. We evaluate the forecasting performance of six alternative leading indicators by adding each, in turn, to the benchmark model. Out-of-sample forecast performance over three periods shows that the model that includes building permits authorized consistently produces the most accurate forecasts. Thus, the intention to build in the future provides good information with which to predict home sales. Another finding suggests that leading indicators with longer leads outperform the short-leading indicators.

Customer evolution and changes in consumers, determine the fact that the quality of the interface between marketing and sales may represent a true competitive advantage for the firm. Building on multidimensional theoretical and empirical models developed in Europe and on social network analysis, the organizational interface between the marketing and sales departments of a multinational high-growth company with operations in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay is studied. Both, attitudinal and social network measures of information exchange are used to make operational the nature and quality of the interface and its impact on performance. Results show the existence of a positive relationship of formalization, joint planning, teamwork, trust and information transfer on interface quality, as well as a positive relationship between interface quality and business performance. We conclude that efficient design and organizational management of the exchange network are essential for the successful performance of consumer goods companies that seek to develop distinctive capabilities to adapt to markets that experience vertiginous changes

Some of the recent proposals of web-based applications are oriented to provide advanced search services through virtual shops. Within this context, this paper proposes an advanced type of software application that simulates how a sales assistant dialogues with a consumer to dynamically configure a product according to particular needs. The paper presents the general knowl- edge model that uses artificial intelligence and knowledge-based techniques to simulate the configuration process. Finally, the paper illustrates the description with an example of an application in the field of photography equipment.

El uso intenso de sales fundentes en zonas de helada puede reducir la vida útil de los puentes por la penetración acelerada de cloruros. Se ha realizado la inspección de dos puentes construidos hace más de 20 y 50 años, respectivamente, y situados en zonas que requieren un uso intenso de sales fundentes durante el invierno. Se han extraído probetas testigo de algunos elementos estructurales de los puentes y sobre ellas se realizaron ensayos de caracterización mecánica y de durabilidad. De los resultados obtenidos, se determinaron los tipos de daño en el hormigón provocados por la exposición de las estructuras a los ciclos de hielo-deshielo durante su vida en servicio y se obtuvieron diferentes perfiles de ingreso de cloruros originados por los mecanismos de transporte y determinados por la distribución porosa del material y por las condiciones de exposición de los elementos de hormigón estudiados. Los resultados obtenidos se comparan con los proporcionados por un modelo de difusión de cloruros.

Shopping agents are web-based applications that help consumers to find appropriate products in the context of e-commerce. In this paper we argue about the utility of advanced model-based techniques that recently have been proposed in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Engineering, in order to increase the level of support provided by this type of applications. We illustrate this approach with a virtual sales assistant that dynamically configures a product according to the needs and preferences of customers.
