Class Resource

public class Resource

extends Object

implements Cloneable, Serializable

A Resource is a description of some kind of functionality that can be allocated, etc. It is not the stuff itself, AGENTS are the stuff itself, if there is any stuff. Things like wires can't be messed with, so a Resource description suffices.
