public class Event

extends ModelElement

An event is the specification of a significant occurrence that has a location in time and space. An instance of an event can lead to the activation of a behavioral feature in an object.

It is important to distinguish between an event, which is a static specification for a dynamically occurring concept, from an actual instance of an event as a result of program execution. The class Event represents the type of an event. An instance of an event is not modeled explicitly in the metamodel.

In the metamodel an Event is a subclass of ModelElement and is the part of a Transition that represents its trigger.
