Glenn Shafer (of the Dempster-Shafer fame) has been developing systems 
for both financial and management support, I am not sure about marketing.  
You can reach him at:

I'd like to make a collection of references to work being done in AI
and finance, including trading, planning, market analysis, etc.  I've
found the companies who are developing such systems internally to be
very secretive (not suprisingly), but I'd like to throw some light on
this area.

If anyone is doing work in these kinds of domains and would like to 
talk about it, please send them on to me and I'll redistribute the 
answers after digesting them.  I see some especially interesting
problems in dealing with time and pattern recognition that occur
in these situations.

Does anyone know of any financial expert systems that are commercially
available for purchase and that run on either general purpose computers or AI 
workstations?  I am aware of Planpower by Applied Expert Systems
(APEX) and Financial Advisor by Palladian Software.  Any assistance
would be appreciated.
