#
#   THIS WORKING EXAMPLE CONTAINS
#
#   - A social simulation model of context switching written using the MASON framework
#   - A simple example on how to configure, initialize a model and get the results
#   - A package to test a JPPF grid overheads using simple dummy tasks
#   - A package containing an example on how to submit social simulation model to a JPPF grid and collect the results

#   JAVA PACKAGE ORGANIZATION
#   The java packages are organized in the following manner:
#   contextswitching:                   context switching model, GUI and simple model runner

#
#   RUNNING THE EXAMPLES
#   The sources are distributed as a Netbeans Project 
#   you can either: 
#       -use Netbeans to open the project and run the different classes
#       -compile the sources with javac and execute the classes with java <class name>
#       
#   
#   NOTE: to execute the grid examples you should setup a JPPF grid beforehand 
#   To do that you should download the GRID Administration and Monitoring Console
#   the server and the node distribution
#   install the server on one machine
#   and run the grid node software in the machines you want to use as grid nodes
#   The software can be found here http://www.jppf.org/downloads.php
#
