System and methods for configuring a technical system based on generated rules and building the technical system. The technical system and the generated rules are given in graph representations including the following steps: defining rules by a user and representing the rules in a graphical interface, converting the rules from the graphical interface into a programming language and/or a natural language, validating the rules for the technical system, checking the compatibility of the rules, serializing the rules for storage in a file system or a database, using the serialized rules to configure the technical system, and building the configured technical system.
