Abstract: In an example, a method comprises defining an object comprising a plurality of discrete components, each of which comprises a set of discrete formulas having a predefined order. The method initiates an evaluation of each discrete component by looping over each formula of that discrete component to produce a result set according to the predefined order by evaluating without specifying a dimensionality to produce the result set with a single row, or evaluating the formula with a specified dimensionality to produce the result set with a plurality of rows. The method displays a calculation user interface, determines that an action exists that is associated with at least one formula of at least one discrete component, displays a user-selectable element corresponding to the action, and automatically pauses computation of at least a portion of the evaluation until input selecting the user-selectable element is received.

Abstract: Various implementations for assigning rules and creating rules using templates are described herein. In one example implementation, a model is determined, one or more components of the model are determined, a rule from a set of one or more predefined rules is determined, and the rule is assigned to the model. The rule has one or more parameters matching the one or more components of the model.

Abstract: A method for configuring items, including a model with a configurable item, the model including one or more rules determining availability of an option corresponding to an attribute of the configurable item; determining votes cast by the one or more rules, regarding availability of an option in the option group; attaching the votes to the option; resolving the attached votes to determine availability of the option; and assigning an availability state to the option based on the resolution of the votes.

Abstract: Various implementations for simplified product configuration using table-based rule editing, rule conflict resolution through voting, and efficient model compilation are described. In one example implementation, a rule definition table is provided for presentation to a user. One or inputs defining a rule for a model using the rule definition table are received. The rule is compiled into a compiled rule that is executable during evaluation of the model and the model is evaluated based on the compiled rule. Numerous additional implementations are also described.
