Re: Abstract User Interface Models - questions on event structure [Honeywell Internal]

I think the term "trigger" is somewhat misleading. As Hick said "every event triggers something" as in "leads to certain behaviour". From my point of view, a "TriggerEvent" is something initiated by  by an interaction, opposed to system events or events as a result of function call.

More generally speaking, I think concrete events are not as important as the underlying concept of resource input and output. These are intended to model control flow within the application. The concrete event types as in the AUI model can thought of as just means of transportation with specific semantics. 

Regards, Heiko

It seems to me that all events trigger something unless they are ignored. It might be a change in a display (selecting or deselecting a visual element, changing a value in a visual element, etc.) or it might trigger something else.  So how is a “TriggerEvent” something unique?
