Annotation
Represents a user-defined condition. The `name` attribute gives the name of a class implementing the `Condition` interface from package `umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters.msk.conditions`. Eight signatures of constructors are looked for, in that order: `(CallCenter, int, Map),` `(CallCenter, int),` `(CallCenter, Map),` `(int, Map),` `(CallCenter),` `(Map),` `(int),` and `()` (no argument). The first matching constructor is used to create the function object. The `CallCenter` class comes from package `umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters.msk.model,` the integer corresponds to the index of the call type, and the map comes from `java.util.`

If the constructor accepts a map, it is given a map whose keys are of type `String` and values are of type `Object.` The given map is filled with the properties parsed from the `prpoerties` child element. This can be used to pass parameters to custom conditions.

Some conditions require complex state information, such as statistics observed during some time periods. In such cases, mechanisms need to be initialized at the beginning of simulation steps, and started during time intervals the condition is used. For this, the condition object might implement the `Initializable` and `ToggleElement` interfaces in package `umontreal.iro.lecuyer.contactcenters.` At the beginning of each step, the simulator calls `init()` on each initializable condition, then `start()` for each condition implementing `ToggleElement.`
