/**
42
 * <p>
43
 * ITaskPlanner provides an interface to program your own task planning. It gives
44
 * you operations for pick a task from the queue according on the criteria that
45
 * you designed.<br>
46
 * </p>
47
 * <p>
48
 * The simplest implementation of ITaskPlanner would be a FIFO task planner (see
49
 * FIFOTaskPlanner.java) which takes jobs from a task queue in the same order
50
 * they were put. But any kind of planner is possible (SJF, LIFO, RoundRobin, etc.).
