    Activates has a Service instance both as source and target as well as CallsFor but with a complete different semantic. Activates is used to indicate that the source Service of the relation enables the operation of the target Service. Examples are between a VirtualMachine and a HostingNode to capture that the VirtualMachine is operating the HostingNode. Another example is between a VirtualMachine and an EService, e.g., between a VirtualMachine and a database instance. This relation can be created also between a HostingNode and one EService, e.g., to represent a container e.g., Tomcat and the web-service(s) it is operating. Activates is also used between an EService and a RunningPlugin which enriches the functionality offered by the source service.
