A method of evaluating a plurality of invoices, said invoices generated by at least one billing system according to at least one billing plan and relating to at least one service provider, said invoices comprising parameters of at least one user profile, a plurality of invoice items, parameters of at least one user consumption pattern and at least one debit, said method comprising:

• receiving said plurality of invoices;
• analyzing said plurality of invoices, said analyzing comprising:
• semantic analyzing said plurality of invoices, said semantic analyzing comprising identifying at least one of the following:
• Parameters of said at least one service provider, said parameters of at least one user profile, said invoice items of said plurality of invoices relating to said at least one billing system and said at least one service provider, said at least one billing plan, said parameters of at least one user consumption pattern, and said at least one debit;
• logically analyzing said plurality of invoices, said logically analyzing comprising identifying relations between said at least one debit and at least one of the following:
• Said parameters of said at least one service provider, said parameters of said at least one user profile, said plurality of invoice items, said parameters of at least one user consumption pattern;
• and extracting itemization rules according to the identified relations;
• constructing a computer implemented knowledge base, said computer implemented knowledge base comprising:
• at least one taxonomy representing an hierarchic structure of the relations and inheritance between said billing plans based on said semantic and logically analyzing of said plurality of invoices by identifying difference and similarities between invoices related to different billing plans;
• at least one computer implemented generic invoice for calculating an estimated debit from at least one of the following:
• said plurality of invoice items, said parameters of at least one user profile and said parameters of at least one user consumption pattern, wherein said at least one itemization rule is extracted from said plurality of invoices by utilizing a reverse engineering logic,
• receiving simulated data comprising at least one of the following:
• at least one billing plan, at least one billing system, at least one service provider, at least one parameter of at least one user profile, at least one parameter of at least one user consumption pattern;
• calculating at least one estimated debit from said simulated data and said computer implemented knowledge base.

A method of evaluating a plurality of billing plans, said billing plans generated by at least one billing system and relating to at least one service provider, said billing plans relating to parameters of at least one user profile, and parameters of at least one user consumption pattern, said method comprising:

• receiving said plurality of billing plans;
• logically analyzing said plurality of billing plans, said logically analyzing comprising identifying relations between said at least one debit and at least one of the following:
• Said parameters of said at least one service provider, said parameters of said at least one user profile, parameters of said plurality of billing plans, said parameters of at least one user consumption pattern;
• and extracting itemization rules according to the identified relations;
• constructing a computer implemented knowledge base, said computer implemented knowledge base comprising at least one taxonomy representing an hierarchic structure of the relations and inheritance between said billing plans based on said logically analyzing of said plurality of billing plans by identifying difference and similarities between different billing plans;
• receiving simulated data comprising at least one of the following:
• at least one billing plan, at least one billing system, at least one service provider, at least one parameter of at least one user profile, at least one parameter of at least one user consumption pattern;
• calculating at least one estimated debit from said simulated data and said computer implemented knowledge base.

A computer implemented method of knowledge refinement and generation related to a computer implemented knowledge base for analyzing a plurality of invoices, said invoices generated according to at least one billing plan by at least one billing system and relating to at least one service provider, said invoices comprising parameters of at least one user profile, a plurality of invoice items, parameters of at least one user consumption pattern and at least one debit, said computer implemented knowledge base comprising at least one computer implemented generic invoice for calculating an estimated debit from at least one of the following:

• said plurality of invoice items, said parameters of at least one user profile and said parameters of at least one user consumption pattern,
• said computer implemented method comprising:
• defining a plurality of predefined threshold debits;
• generating a plurality of billing plans;
• calculating for each billing plan a plurality of associated debits;
• selecting a plurality of precursor billing plans from said plurality of billing plans relating to the plurality of associated debits, such that the selected precursor billing plans comprise billing plans minimizing at least one predefined function of said associated debits;
• generating a plurality of progeny billing plans from said plurality of precursor billing plans, such that every progeny billing plan is substantially similar to at least one precursor billing plan;
• reiterating said calculating a plurality of associated debits, said selecting precursor billing plans and said generating a plurality of progeny billing plans, said reiterating is carried out until the at least one predefined function of said associated debits reaches the predefined threshold debits for at least one billing plan.
