Detailed Description

The Activation class is the abstract class for RuleBlock activation methods.

An activation method implements the criteria to activate the rules within a given rule block. An activation method needs to process every rule and determine whether the rule is to be activated or deactivated. The activation methods were first introduced in version 6.0, but in earlier versions the term activation referred to the TNorm that modulated the consequent of a rule, which is now referred to as the implication operator.
