/**
 * Groups all the classes that deal with the logic of ACG. There are three different kind of classes:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>ACS-related classes: These classes deal with the connection of the application with ACS
 *       and the DAL ({@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.AcsInformation}), and the retrieval of the different DAOs that are needed by
 *       ACG ({@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.DAOManager}).</li>
 *   <li>Manager classes: The second kind of classes are those that manage the current contents of
 *       ACG. There is one for each kind of element: {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.AlarmSystemManager},
 *       {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.AlarmManager}, {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.CategoryManager},
 *       {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.ReductionManager} and {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.SourceManager}.</li>
 *   <li>Others: There are two other classes that cannot be grouped into the previous classifications.
 *       The first is {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.ReductionRule}, an internal representation of a Reducion Rule, while the
 *       second one is {@link cl.utfsm.acs.acg.core.UserAuthenticator}, which handles the authentication of the users into
 *       the system.</li>
 * </ul>
