E-commerce website evaluation based on fuzzy inference engine

Evaluation of a website is not so straightforward since many parameters or criteria are considered in judging of websites, especially for economic commerce (e-commerce) websites. These criteria include design, usability and reliability. Due to the imprecise nature of the problem, this assessment cannot be addressed using the traditional Boolean logic. Therefore, an alternative approach using artificial fuzzy logic will be employed for a suitable solution of e-commerce website evaluation. This paper doesn't present only an approach into the design for an e-commerce website evaluation tool (EWET), but also an application of fuzzy inference engine (fuzzy engine) for Java which is a package of open source which was designed by Edward Sazonov to achieve fuzzy evaluations in Java programs.
