Most software firms, of course, promise to make their clients more efficient. But NuTech claims that its products--developed by using AI technologies such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and evolutionary computing--can monitor each player continuously in a supply-and-demand equation, consider the millions of ways each player's decisions impact the business and then suggest the best ways to fine-tune a client's operations.

The logic behind such a move would be to attain and increase critical mass opposing Sarkozy's policies. French college students are already staging protests over approved university reform they want rescinded, while thousands of members of France's judicial system will march Nov. 29 to denounce proposed reorganization.
