XSLT / XML blocks world expert system

Hello, first sorry for my bad English. XSLT as a programming language for developing an expert system --------------------------------------------------------------- The goal is to show that XSLT is a programming language making it possible to develop an expert system (thanks to its inference engine) and to implement it for the solving of a blocks world problem. The blocks starting situation would be represented by a XML file containing the blocks names and their higher and lower blocks (if they exist). The objective to reach (Ex: "block A on block B and block C alone") would also be included in a XML file. The XLM syntax would look like this : b c The rules that will have to be used by the expert system (Ex: "if block A free then take it and put it on the table"; "if block A on block B in the objective then [if free] put A on B") would be represented in a XML file (RuleML format?). Thus the system would work as follow : Step-by-step (for each pass), rule(s) that the XSLT inference engine chooses (by a template-match) are applied to the tree representing the blocks world, leading to the objective. The whole program has to be written in XSLT (no javascript, no VB, ...) and practically the point is to use rules that inference engine of XSLT will combine in a sequence of actions that lead to a solution. We can discuss further but my view was to build the system like this : XML : initial state and objective RuleML : rules XSLT : --> test coherence (incompatible positions, ...) --> test that goal is reachable --> best solution search --> display solution Please contact me to have more information !
