Figure 6.5:
Illustration of event categories defined by the GRAMS refer-
ence model.
Two disjoint sets of events are distinguished:
Endogenous
events
are occurring within a specific agent or within the environment and
affect only the agent respectively the environment.
Exogenous
events
on the other hand describe events occuring in one component of a
model and affecting another component [16, p. 11].
