Conflict Resolution Strategy

• When multiple rules can apply, you need a conflict resolution strategy
• The conflict is between different rules
• There are a range of different strategies
• Some systems apply all rules that can apply (e.g. the Parsimonious Production System)
• Some use the rules with the most conditions
• Others just do it by the order of the rules
• With small systems it doesn't really matter much, but with big systems it can really change performance.
