Apama Studio’s Event Modeler editor provides a graphical environment that complements Apama’s event processing language. You use Event Modeler to create and modify scenarios. A scenario is a description of an application that will be deployed on and leverage the real-time capabilities of Apama’s event correlator. Event Modeler provides graphical tools for:

A scenario is a template that specifies how instances of the scenario will behave once they are created inside a correlator

The design philosophy behind Event Modeler is that once you define a scenario anyone should be able to create and configure instances of it without requiring technical expertise or knowledge of its inner workings. Therefore, once the scenario author has finished editing their scenario, the next step is to create a graphical dashboard for it. This lets the end users access and interact with the scenario through an intuitive and easy to manipulate graphical user interface.

After you define a scenario, you use Apama Studio tools to test it. Apama Studio translates your scenario into a monitor and injects the monitor into the correlator. For an introduction to monitors, see Description of event processing languages.
