    • DelayActionCreator

      public DelayActionCreator(String timeSpecification)
      Instantiates a new delay action creator.

      A Delay represents a timing delay as a RandomVariable between two user actions. The Delay is included into the usage model to express that users do not call system services in direct successions,but usually need some time to determine their next action. User delays are for example useful,if a performance analyst wants to determine the execution time for a complete scenario behaviour (instead of a single service), which needs to include user delays.

      Parameters:
      timeSpecification - the time specification
