Stephene et al,
As Jason pointed out about salience being used sparingly, there is
one other heuristic: If you have more then three levels of salience/
priority then your problem may be better suited for a procedural
language. Just a thought... Also, if the rules MUST be done in
order,
Hi Stephane,
Sure, you could use salience. However, salience is a spice best used sparingly lest it spoil the dish. Try to arrange your rules in modules and use other techniques like goal-seeking (you will need to do your homework on this) first before you resort to manipulating salience values.
