Summary
This paper introduces a number of dimensions of active rule system behaviour which can be used both to highlight differences between proposals for active rule systems, and to identify the requirements of different applications. These dimensions relate to the structure, execution model and management of active rules, and enable the concise expression of what facilities a system supports and what features an application requires.
