Abstract
A real-time system may comprise both states and events. A state of a system characterizes a stable aspect of the system behavior. By stable, we mean that once the system enters a state, it will stay in that state throughout a period. An event of a system characterizes an instant interaction of the system with its environment. This can drive both the system and its environment to change their behavior dramatically.
