public interface EventOccurrence
extends InteractionFragment, MessageEnd

A representation of the model object 'Event Occurrence'. EventOccurrences represents moments in time to which Actions are associated. An EventOccurrence is the basic semantic unit of Interactions. The sequences of Eventoccurrences are the meanings of Interactions. Messages are sent through either asynchronous signal sending or operation calls. Likewise they are recieved by Receptions or actions of consumption. EventOccurrence is a specialization of InteractionFragment and of MessageEnd. EventOccurrences are ordered along a Lifeline. The namespace of an EventOccurrence is the Interaction in which it is contained.

The following features are supported:
