		A task that can be executed whenever there are free computing resources.

		This is an emulation of a real workload where an agent is created in a passive region and is registered for execution in a given processor pool.
		The class is used solely for illustrative purposes to demonstrate that some computation in a passive region can be automatically scheduled for execution by an active processor.
