                             State  | 
                             | 
                             | 
                             The situation of a model element waiting for events. See States (OOM).  |

                             Action  | 
                             N/A  | 
                             N/A  | 
                             Specification of a computable statement. See Actions (OOM).  | 
| 
                             Event  | 
                             N/A  |

                             Occurrence of something observable, it conveys information specified by parameters. See Events (OOM).  | 
| 
                             Transition  | 
                             | 
                             | 
                             Path on which the control flow moves between states. See Transitions (OOM).  | 
| 
                             Junction point  | 
                             | 
                             | 
                             Divides a transition between states. Used particularly when specifying mutually exclusive conditions. See Junction Points (OOM).  | 
| 
                             Synchronization  | 
                             | 
                             | 
                             Enables the splitting or synchronization of control between two or more concurrent states. See Synchronizations (OOM).  |

                             |
