An event is a smaller task that is processed after the processing of a single activation. The events are generated by the activation and are tasks that cannot be processed during the activation processing but are still part of the activation. The event always effects another active or suspended event in the simulation. An activation can generate several events during its processing. The following event types exist currently:

•ET_SUSPEND_T, suspends an activation (another activation with a higher priority has reserved some or all of the resources used by this activation)

•ET_RESOURCE_AVAILABLE_T, informs all waiting activations that a certain resource has become available during the processing of an activation
