%%% This is a rewrite of overload from BS.3, by Peter Högfeldt.
%%%
%%% DESCRIPTION
%%%
%%% This module implements a server process that keeps record of the
%%% intensity of calls of the request/0 function, and answers accept or
%%% reject depending on if the current average intensity is not greater 
%%% than a specified maximum intensity.
%%%
%%% The intensity i is calculated according to the formula:
%%%    i(n) = exp(-K*(T(n) - T(n-1)))*i(n-1) + Kappa
%%% where i(n) is the intensity at event n, Kappa is a constant, and
%%% T(n) is the time at event n.
%%%
%%% The constant Kappa can be thought of as 1 / T, where T is the time 
%%% constant. Kappa is externally referred to as Weight.
%%%  
%%% We keep track of two intensities: the total call intensity and the 
%%% intensity of accepted calls.
%%%-----------------------------------------------------------------
%%% TODO
%%%
%%% 3. Hysteresis.
