Welcome to the example of how to use multiple regional GridInformationService
(GIS) entities of a GridSim package.
To compile the example source code:
    In Unix/Linux: javac -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. ExampleGIS.java
    In Windows:    javac -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. ExampleGIS.java

where $GRIDSIM or %GRIDSIM% is the location of the gridsimtoolkit package.


To run the class file:
    In Unix/Linux:
        java -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. ExampleGIS > file.txt

    In Windows:
        java -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. ExampleGIS > file.txt


The above command means run the program and output the results into a file
named "file.txt" rather than into screen or standard output.
To prevent from overwriting an existing file, I renamed "file.txt" into
"output.txt"        
NOTE: This example uses Java Random class to select a resource and userentity 
      to communicate to a regional GIS entity. 
      Hence, when running this example many times, the values will be different.


When running the example file, it will produce the following files:

    sim_trace -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) to trace every
        events (performed by SimJava and GridSim) during the simulation.
        We don't need to worry about this file. Not to important for our
        example.

    sim_report -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) of GridSim.
        This is a simulation report that contains general information about
        running this experiment. We don't need to worry about this file.
        Not to important for our example.

NOTE: When you run the program multiple times, "sim_trace" and "sim_report" 
      file will be overwritten.
