Abstract

An improvement in decision automation employing a ZDD rule model indicative of a business or engineering rule to provide decision support to a user. The computer- implemented improvement automatically identifies compliant inputs for the rale processing system according to at least one input initially supplied by a user, and is particularly useful for determining product configuration, engineering designs, various outcome of planning scenarios, etc. Once a user selects an initial value(s), remaining compliant values unique to the user-selected value(s) are automatically identified. The improvement reduces time required to manually select inputs. In one embodiment, the improvement includes an I/O interface to enable the user to choose and observe inputs, an autoselect ZDD constructed from compliant inputs of the rule model, and a ZDD processing module that processes said autoselect ZDD in order to provide for the user a set compliant inputs for the ZDD rule model according to the user input. The automatic input selection routine may be executed at decision automation runtime, or executed and stored a priori for subsequent processing during runtime.
