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.

Famous quotes containing the word event:
“... every event has had its cause, and nothing, not the least wind that blows, is accident or causeless. To understand what happens now one must find the cause, which may be very long ago in its beginning, but is surely there, and therefore a knowledge of history as detailed as possible is essential if we are to comprehend the past and be prepared for the future.”
—Pearl S. Buck (18921973)
