public class Phase extends Object implements Serializable
Phase class. The Phase is used in phase explicit DEVS models. Phases partition the state space into regions, where events are used to transfer the state from one phase to another phase. An example is a machine that can be in three different phases: idle, active, or failed. There are explicit events to transfer the model from one phase to another. A model or component is always in exactly one phase, and a transition diagram can be used to depict the transitions between phases.
