Possible input value combinations of a prediction of an engineered system are iterated over, comprising, for a possible input value combination: selecting an action to perform on the engineered system for the possible input value combination, comprising: performing a plurality of predictions of the engineered system scored by evaluating an objective function associated with the engineered system and using the possible input value combination and a corresponding plurality of actions. The action is selected from the corresponding plurality of actions, the selection being based at least in part on scores of the plurality of predictions. A rule specifying a corresponding set of one or more rule conditions that is met when the possible input value combination is matched and a corresponding action associated with the rule as a selected action is generated. The generated set of rules to be stored or further processed is output.
