% Description:  This workflow executes the MinDist algorithm. %
%   It is trival to change this workflow to run the           %
%   QuotaBalanced algorithm (not provided).  Its input are:   %
%                                                             %
%   silent: true or false                                     %
%   False if interested in seeing the output.                 %
%   True if timing the execution time.  Output to screen is   %
%   a time consuming operation that will not be performed by  %
%   the orchestrator.                                         %
%                                                             %
%   detectConflicts:  true or false                           %
%   It checks to see if the flight path of the FLSs from a    %
%   dispatcher to its coordinate intersects another.  With    %
%   minDist, there are no such intersections.  It is here only%
%   for sanity check and to verify nothing is out of place.   %
