ModelConfigurationManagerIfc

This interface defines a function that can be called when the model is being set up, prior to the execution of any replications. The intention is to allow the modeler to specify via the configuration map specifications for configuring the model for the experiments. A KSL model has two methods for providing input variations, ksl.controls.Controls and ksl.utilities.random.rvariable.parameters.RVParameterSetter. This interface provides a third more general method. The map can hold information that the specific implementor of the interface can use to adjust, change, update, or configure the model in the way necessary to prepare it before executing the simulation experiments. The general idea is that the key indicates what will be done or changed and the associated value can be used to make the change. For example, a key could be a model element name and the value could be a JSON string that can be deserialized to required inputs for the change.
