public interface Action
extends ModelElement

An action is the fundamental unit of behavior specification. An action takes a set of input values and uses them to produce a set of output values, though either or both sets may be empty. If both inputs and outputs are missing, the action must have some kind of fixed, nonparameterized effect on the system state, or be performing some effect external to the system. Actions may access or modify accessible, mutable objects. A reference to an object to read or write is an input of the action. Composite actions may include data-transformation actions as well as object-access actions. An action may have a set of incoming data flows as well as a set of explicit control flow dependencies on predecessor actions. An action will not begin execution until all of its input values (if any) have been produced by preceding actions and all predecessor actions have completed. The completion of the execution of an action may enable the execution of a set of successor actions and actions that take their inputs from the outputs of the action. Actions come in various kinds, each of which has its own formation rules. An action must be one of those kinds.
