Abstract
In this paper an approach is presented for optimal products placement according to their similarities in a market. The approach is based on a self-organizing map and it is applicable for a variety of product types, as food, books, toys, mixed stores, etc. A modification of the well-known Kohonen learning rule is proposed. Examples are shown for two-dimensional placement and using of shelves in three-dimensional space is considered.
