Event (UML)
An event in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a notable occurrence at a particular point in time.
Events can, but do not necessarily, cause state transitions from one state to another in state machines represented by state machine diagrams.
A transition between states occurs only when any guard condition for that transition are satisfied.
