public interface ISimProcess
extends IEntity

A simulated process, which executes a sequence of actions as specified by the lifeCycle method. in this way, this class supports the so-called process-interaction simulation modelling.

By contrast to AbstractSimEventDelegators, simulated time may pass while executing the process lifecycle.

Method Detail

passivate

void passivate()

Passivates this process. This will suspend the simulation of the process until it is resumed again using the scheduleAt method.

scheduleAt

void scheduleAt(double delay)

Resumes the process after waiting delay simulated time units.

Parameters:

delay - the period of simulated time to wait before this process is activated again.

passivate

void passivate(double delay)

Puts the process asleep and resumes after waiting delay simulated time units.

Parameters:

delay - the period of simulated time to wait before this process is activated again.

isTerminated

boolean isTerminated()

Returns whether this process has finished its execution.

preempt

void preempt()

addProcessListener

void addProcessListener(ISimProcessListener l)

removeProcessListener

void removeProcessListener(ISimProcessListener l)
