+ * Processes (#msg_process_t) are independent agents that can do stuff on their own. They are in charge of executing your code interacting with the simulated world.
+ * A process may be defined as a code with some private data.
+ * Processes must be located on hosts (#msg_host_t), and they exchange data by sending tasks (#msg_task_t) that are similar to envelops containing data.
