The Activity Heap is based on a heap, though allows for reschedules. 

To allow reschedules to happen, a model is accompagnied by a flag to 
indicate whether or not it is still valid. 
As soon as a model is rescheduled, the flag of the previously scheduled 
time is set and another entry is added. This causes the heap to become *dirty*, 
requiring a check for the flag as soon as the first element is requested.

Due to the possibility for a dirty heap, the heap will be cleaned up as 
soon as the number of invalid elements becomes too high. 
This cleanup method has O(n) complexity and is therefore only 
ran when the heap becomes way too dirty.

Another problem is that it might consume more memory than other schedulers, 
due to invalid elements being kept in memory. 
However, the actual model and states are not duplicated as they are references. 
The additional memory requirement should not be a problem in most situations.

The 'activity' part from the name stems from the fact that only models where 
the *time_next* attribute is smaller than infinity will be scheduled. 
Since these elements are not added to the heap, they aren't taken into account 
in the complexity. This allows for severe optimisations in situations where 
a lot of models can be scheduled for infinity.

Of all provided schedulers, this one is the most mature due to it being the 
oldest and also the default scheduler. It is also applicable in every situation 
and it offers sufficient performance in most cases.

This scheduler is ideal in situations where (nearly) no reschedules happen 
and where most models transition at a different time.

It results in slow behaviour in situations requiring lots of rescheduling, 
and thus lots of dirty elements.

This method is also applied in the VLE simulator and is the common approach 
to heap schedulers that require invalidation. It varies from the scheduler in 
ADEVS due to the heap from the heapq library being used, which doesn't offer 
functions to restructure the heap. 
Reimplementing these methods in pure Python would be unnecessarily slow.
