/**
57
 * <p>
58
 * ITaskPlanner provides an interface to program your own task planning. It gives
59
 * you operations for pick a task from the queue according on the criteria that
60
 * you designed.<br>
61
 * </p>
62
 * <p>
63
 * The simplest implementation of ITaskPlanner would be a FIFO task planner (see
64
 * FIFOTaskPlanner.java) which takes jobs from a task queue in the same order
65
 * they were put. But any kind of planner is possible (SJF, LIFO, RoundRobin, etc.).
