AGGREGATING CONSTRAINTS AND/OR PREFERENCES USING AN INFERENCE ENGINE AND ENHANCED SCRIPTING LANGUAGE

A method, system, and computer program product for aggregating constraints and/or preferences using an inference engine and an enhanced scripting language. Values of multiple factors and the interrelationships between the factors and their values are aggregated, and the result is used to tailor or direct the processing of a software program. This approach enables representing complex decisions in a straightforward manner, and avoids the need to modify the software program to account for new factors and/or new values thereof.
