Index Support for Rule Activation

Summary: Index-based rule activation for large, complex rule programs in integrated rule-DBMS systems (DATEX). Demonstrates strong performance with minimal DBMS modifications, arguing that synergistic optimization of rule programs and data storage enables scalable activation.
