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 diagram
s.
A transition between states occurs only when any guard condition for that transition are satisfied.

State (computer science)
In computer science and automata theory, a state is a unique configuration of information in a program or machine. It is a concept that occasionally extends into some forms of systems programming such as lexers and parsers....

State diagram
A state diagram is a type of diagram used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system described is composed of a finite number of states; sometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a reasonable abstraction...
