Completion events have dispatching priority. That is, they are dispatched ahead of any pending Event occurrences in the event pool.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

In case of simple States, a completion event is generated when the associated entry and doActivity Behaviors have completed executing. If no such Behaviors are defined, the completion event is generated upon entry into the State.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

The event that enables this trigger is called a completion event and it signifies that all Behaviors associated with the source State of the completion Transition have completed execution.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

14.2.3.8.3 Completion Transitions and completion events: A special kind of Transition is a completion Transition, which has an implicit trigger.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

UML-2.5.1 does NOT permit a trigger or guard on a Transition from an initial pseudostate in a StateMachine but Cameo/MagicDraw does (please avoid).

UML-2.5.1: Has an incorrect local Transition with same source and vertex in 'Figure 14.34 Local Transitions'

Transitions of the kind internal are not shown explicitly in diagrams.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

kind = internal ... This kind of Transition can only be defined if the source Vertex is a State.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

kind = internal is a special case of a local Transition that is a self-transition (i.e., with the same source and target States), such that the State is never exited (and, thus, not re-entered), which means that no exit or entry Behaviors are executed ...

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

kind = local ... However, for local Transitions the target Vertex must be different from its source Vertex. A local Transition can only exist within a composite State.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

kind = local is the opposite of external, meaning that the Transition does not exit its containing State (and, hence, the exit Behavior of the containing State will not be executed). ...

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

kind = external means that the Transition exits its source Vertex. If the Vertex is a State, then executing this Transition will result in the execution of any associated exit Behavior of that State.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

The semantics of a Transition depend on its relationship to its source Vertex. Three different possibilities are defined, depending on the value of the Transition’s kind attribute ...

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

When multiple triggers are defined for a Transition, they are logically disjunctive, that is, if any of them are enabled, the Transition will be triggered.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

A Transition may own a set of Triggers, each of which specifies an Event whose occurrence, when dispatched, may trigger traversal of the Transition. A Transition trigger is said to be enabled if the dispatched Event occurrence matches its Event type.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

Transitions are executed as part of a more complex compound transition that takes a StateMachine execution from one stable state configuration to another.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

NOTE. The duration of a Transition traversal is undefined, allowing for different semantic interpretations, including both “zero” and non-“zero” time.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

It may have an associated effect Behavior, which is executed when the Transition is traversed (executed).

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

A Transition is a single directed arc originating from a single source Vertex and terminating on a single target Vertex (the source and target may be the same Vertex), which specifies a valid fragment of a StateMachine Behavior.

In effect, the latter is a continuation of the external incoming Transition, with the proviso that the execution of the entry Behavior of the composite State (if defined) occurs between the effect Behavior of the incoming Transition and the effect ...

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

Entry points represent termination points (sources) for incoming Transitions and origination points (targets) for Transitions that terminate on some internal Vertex of the composite State.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

If the composite State has an exit Behavior defined, it is executed after any effect Behavior of the incoming inside Transition and before any effect Behavior of the outgoing external Transition.

Source

Unified Modeling Language 2.5.1

In a well-formed model, such a Transition should have a corresponding external Transition outgoing from the same exit point, representing a continuation of the terminating Transition.

Exit points are the inverse of entry points. That is, Transitions originating from a Vertex within the composite State can terminate on the exit point.
