Dictionary - Definition of EVENT-DRIVEN

Domain	Definition
Computing	Event-driven A kind of program, such as a graphical user interface, with a main loop which just waits for events to occur. Each event has an associated handler which is passed the details of the event, e.g. mouse button 3 pressed at position (355, 990). For example, X window system and most Visual Basic application programs are event-driven. See also callback. (2000-02-09) Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Expressions	Definition
Event-driven process chain	The method of event-driven process chain (EPC) has been developed within the framework of ARIS and is used by many companies for modeling, analyzing, and redesigning business processes [Ferdian01]. As such it forms the core technique for modeling in ARIS, which serves to link the different views in the so-called control view, which will be elaborated in section of ARIS Business Process Modeling.
