1.3.1.2.5 Signal
Specification of an asynchronous stimulus communicated between Instances.
Signals are processed by StateMachines, which represent how SignalEvents are taken into account. Modelio provides the DataFlow extension to UML. Using this extension, a Signal can be declared as representing a ModelElement (GeneralClass, Operation, or Parameter). A DataFlow associated to the Signal will then be able to express this data, represented by the Signal, and may circulate between different NameSpaces. In Modelio, a Signal belongs to a NameSpace, notably its Package.
