Notes
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
  [UML-2.5.1] A Trigger specifies a specific point at which an Event occurrence may trigger an effect in a Behavior.
  [UML-2.5.1] An Event is the specification of some occurrence that may potentially trigger effects by an object.
  [UML-2.5.1] A TimeEvent is an Event that occurs at a specific point in time.
  [UML-2.5.1] A ChangeEvent models a change in the system configuration that makes a condition true.
  [UML-2.5.1] A MessageEvent specifies the receipt by an object of either an Operation call or a Signal instance.
  [UML-2.5.1] A CallEvent models the receipt by an object of a message invoking a call of an Operation.
  [UML-2.5.1] A SignalEvent represents the receipt of an asynchronous Signal instance.
  [UML-2.5.1] A trigger for an AnyReceiveEvent is triggered by the receipt of any message that is not explicitly handled by any related trigger.
  [UML-2.5.1] trigger_with_ports: If a Trigger specifies one or more ports, the event of the Trigger must be a MessageEvent.
