public interface INamed
extends Comparable<INamed>

An interface for Objects that must have a unique name in the system. Replaces the old Entity class (and IEntity interface) as described in the original DEVS formalism.

As this is an interface, there is no guaranty that an Object implementing this interface has a name attribute. How the name is defined is then let to the implementing object.
