Definition

In UML, an Event describes an occurrence that may arise during the execution of Behavior. Receiving an Event occurrence may trigger Behavior such as a Transition in a StateMachine.

SimpleModeling

SimpleModeling may treat an Event as a fact of domain significance that has already occurred. It distinguishes a request or command to an Operation from an Event emitted after completion.
