When to Trigger Active Rules?

Active rules model and enforce enterprise requirements such as situation monitoring using events, conditions and actions. These rules are termed active rules as they make the underlying application or system such as database management system active capable (i.e., react to changes actively using the push paradigm). Events play a critical role in active rules as they define and detect an occurrence of interest in the real world and trigger the associated rules. Currently active rules are triggered only when events occur completely. Though this allows active rules to model enterprise policies they are not sufficient in modeling situations warranted by applications such as information security. In this paper, we motivate the need for extending events and active rules. We introduce and discuss event extensions and rule generalization and show how these extensions allow the modeling of situations warranted by emerging applications. Finally, we discuss algorithms and implementation of the e...
