Responding to Events

Elements such as Timed Events and Decisions can emit (and in some cases, receive) discrete change signals. Ultimately, however, discrete event modeling must involve discretely impacting an element in some manner in response to the occurrence of the event. There are five elements that, when triggered, respond to an event:

• Discrete Changes;

• Statuses;

• Milestones;

• Stochastics; and

• Interrupts.

The manner in which these elements respond to events is described in the topics below.
