+/**
+ * @file parc_Timer.h
+ * @ingroup threading
+ * @brief A facility for threads to schedule tasks for future execution in a background thread.
+ *
+ * Tasks may be scheduled for one-time execution, or for repeated execution at regular intervals.
+ *
+ * Corresponding to each Timer object is a single background thread that is used to execute all of the timer's tasks,
+ * sequentially. Timer tasks should complete quickly.
+ * If a timer task takes excessive time to complete, it "hogs" the timer's task execution thread.
+ * This can, in turn, delay the execution of subsequent tasks,
+ * which may "bunch up" and execute in rapid succession when (and if) the offending task finally completes.
+ *
+ * After the last live reference to a Timer object goes away and all outstanding tasks have completed execution,
+ * the timer's task execution thread terminates gracefully (and becomes subject to garbage collection).
+ * However, this can take arbitrarily long to occur.
+ * By default, the task execution thread does not run as a daemon thread,
+ * so it is capable of keeping an application from terminating.
+ * If a caller wants to terminate a timer's task execution thread rapidly, the caller should invoke the timer's cancel method.
+ *
+ * If the timer's task execution thread terminates unexpectedly,
+ * for example, because its stop method is invoked,
+ * any further attempt to schedule a task on the timer will result in an IllegalStateException,
+ * as if the timer's cancel method had been invoked.
+ *
+ * This class is thread-safe: multiple threads can share a single Timer object without the need for external synchronization.
+ *
+ * This class does not offer real-time guarantees: it schedules tasks using the Object.wait(long) method.
