Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for specifying and applying businesses rules in a product configurator are disclosed. The disclosed system enables a design-time user to specify a set of businesses rules for a product configurator using a table.

A run-time user may then execute the software instructions to configure one or more products that conform to those rules.
