one or more resource names, or a callable object (a function) which must return one or more resource names.
if resources is a character vector, this parameter
determines the criteria for selecting a resource among the set of policies
available (see details).

Returns the trajectory object.
The 'shortest-queue' policy selects the least busy resource; 'round-robin' selects resources in cyclical order; 'first-available' selects the first resource available, and 'random' selects a resource randomly.
All the 'available'-ending policies ('first-available', but also 'shortest-queue-available', 'round-robin-available' and 'random-available') check for resource availability (i.e., whether the capacity is non-zero), and exclude from the selection procedure those resources with capacity set to zero. This means that, for these policies, an error will be raised if all resources are unavailable.
