Semantics
A send signal event specifies the sending of a message to a receiver object. The send signal event may result in the occurrence
of a signal event in the receiver object (see
Common Behaviors on page 437), and may
consequentially cause the execution of a behavior by the receiver object. The sending object will not block waiting for a
reply, but will continue its execution immediately.
Notation
None
