Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Modelling time as a real number - Total Newbie

[Paul Johnson]

Ah, now your original message appears. Although I filed this example in 
the objc dir, it appears to be java, but should be easy to translate back.

http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/WorkingExampleCode/objc/FloatingPointScheduling2.java

The basic framework will be as in the Opinion example I mentioned to you 
a few hours ago.  Here you use the customizeBegin thing to create a 
concurrent group prototype (not actually a group, but rather an ideal 
type that the scheduler is then told to use as the base class for all 
concurrent groups).  The "sub schedules" are created automatically, you 
don't control that.

(Note, that's different than an "action group". Totally different.)

Unfortunately, since I have not done this personally, I don't can't give 
you a working example in objc, my preferred language. but I suggest you 
take one of the other working examples in that same directory and see if 
you can get it to go. If you have trouble, post your working example 
code along with your questions.  If you have trouble figuring how to 
compile the working examples, look at the examples and note many have a 
last part with the compile command.  Those are for Emacs. Many of those 
details may need updating for your OS.  I can say for sure I've had 
working examples within the last few months, sometime. In objc, I 
suppose I might start with this
