1. A method for using computer assisted configuration technology to generate one or more attribute prioritized configuration answers to one or more configuration queries, the method comprising: performing by a computer system programmed with code stored in a memory and executable by a processor of the computer system to configure the computer system into a machine for: receiving one or more attribute-based configuration queries from a client system, wherein the attribute-based configuration queries include a selection of one or more parts of a product; processing the one or more attribute-based configuration queries, configuration rules, and attribute based preference algorithm using a combined configuration rules-attributes model and a configuration-rules processing engine to calculate valid configuration answers in accordance with the combined configuration rules-attributes model, wherein a plurality of the configuration rules define relationships between parts of the product and a plurality of attributes represent details about the parts; predetermining values of one or more combinations of attributes associated with respective configuration answers; storing the predetermined values; retrieving the stored predetermined values associated with a particular valid configuration answer if the particular valid configuration is an answer to one or more of the attribute-based configuration queries; receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more product attributes to be prioritized; prioritizing the valid configuration answers by one or more of the plurality of attributes in the combined configuration rules-attributes model; and providing at least a subset of the valid configuration answers over a communications network to the client system to enable an application program of the client server to present at least the subset of the valid configuration answers, wherein the provided valid configuration answers are prioritized by one or more of the plurality of attributes.
