Annotation
Represents a user-defined function computing ranks. The name attribute gives the name of a class implementing the RankFunction interface from package umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters.router. Eight signatures of constructors are looked for, in that order: (CallCenter, int, Map), (CallCenter, int), (CallCenter, Map), (int, Map), (CallCenter), (Map), (int), and () (no argument). The first matching constructor is used to create the function object. The CallCenter class comes from package umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters.msk.model, the integer corresponds to the index of the call type, and the map comes from java.util.

If the constructor accepts a map, it is given a map whose keys are of type String and values are of type Object. The given map is filled with the properties parsed from the prpoerties child element. This can be used to pass parameters to custom rank functions.

Some rank functions require complex state information, such as statistics observed during some time periods. In such cases, mechanisms need to be initialized at the beginning of simulation steps, and started during time intervals the rank function is used. For this, the rank function object might implement the Initializable and ToggleElement interfaces in package umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters. At the beginning of each step, the simulator calls init() on each initializable rank function, then start() for each function implementing ToggleElement.
