Over time , by adding rules only , you may improve its ability to make decisions for a proper configuration . In that way you will be able to use an expert system to manage your rule base . You may study as a beginning point the CLIPS among many other systems : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLIPS CLIPS You may design all of expert system as a single XML file or other included XML file names as elements of main XML file ( let's say ) entries . You may need to cooperate with a person being "expert" on "expert systems" . With my best wishes for all , Mehmet Erol Sanliturk --00000000000009b29505d2d2685d--
