Progress Apama SmartBlocks

SmartBlocks and Scripts

A unique framework that enables users to create their own reusable event stream processing modules. SmartBlocks enable implementation of predefined process logic and analytics (for example, the unique analytics used in a series of algorithmic trading strategies by a hedge fund or bank.) With SmartBlocks, creation of event stream processing applications is made accessible to non-programmers who can use a drag-and-drop development model to create or modify sophisticated event processing scenarios.

Event stream processing applications, or scenarios, can be created in several ways. More technical developers can exploit a native MonitorScript tool (example below) that creates applications optimized for event detection and response. Java-based scripting, JMON, is also supported, thus making development accessible to the growing Java developer community. Event Manager includes a native JVM for execution of Java-developed scenarios.

In addition to direct scripting, developers can create SmartBlocks of pre-assembled scripting that can be retrieved from a catalog and assembled into application scenarios. SmartBlocks are Lego®-like components that Event Modeler can use to assemble the event scenarios via its graphical interface.
