  // = TITLE
  //   A scheduling strategy that implements the Maximum Urgency First
  //   scheduling algorithm with Fair Admission of Indexed Rates
  //   (FAIR).

  // = DESCRIPTION
  //   The strategy assigns static thread and global priority according

  //   distinct criticality level.  It admits operation tuples in order
  //   of ascending rate index, where the lowest rate for an operation
  //   has index 0, the next higher rate has index 1, etc.
