public abstract class Module
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

Modules are run in a separate thread and continuously process data. They are initiated by core prediction system by configuring which modules should be started.

Each module should inherit from this class and implement run() and a constructor that takes the agencyId as a string parameter.
