[kepler-dev] Kepler composite actor firing

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Chad,
In Ptolemy II, we would use a modal model for this.  I'm not sure if 
modal models are enabled in Kepler, but I believe they are.

A model model is a state machine where the states are composite actors.  
These inner composites are known as refinements.  The modal model has 
inputs and outputs that are connected to the ports of the refinement.  
The guards on the transitions between the states control which composite 
is fired.

See http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/books/Systems/chapters/ModalModels.pdf

BTW - it is not necessary to cc both kepler-dev and kepler-users. 
Kepler-dev is for development of Kepler itself, kepler-users is for 
questions about using Kepler.  This is an excellent question for 
kepler-users.  Cc'ing both lists is not a big deal, just a mild preference.
