I think, I would use both mechanism in case of the forward chaining is confuse due to several matching set in my study( - let say searching for nodes to run Simulation which require Mathlab Software). In this case, I don't wants to fire the first matching rules instead needs to search further for another attribute such as "which machine is free at the time?".
