true that everything is related to the simulation clock,
but the time zone does matter !

For example, the resource is in UTC+10 and the user is in UTC+5
and init time is 05:00:00 (UTC+0) for simplicity.
At the start of simulation, resource time is 15:00:00 and
user time is 00:00:00

If the user submits at GridSim.clock() = 1 hour and
NO time zone conversion, then the resource thinks
the current time is 01:00:00, i.e. user init time + GridSim.clock(),
which is already expired. This is because the ARObject only stores
the user current time and the user has no idea about
the resource time zone is.
