+Introduction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+      .. container:: sectionbody
+
+          .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  Consider a scenario where a supermarket chain called
+                  *HyperM* controls how it sells items in a policy-based
+                  manner. Each time an item is processed by *HyperM*'s
+                  point-of-sale (PoS) system an event is generated and
+                  published about that item of stock being sold. This
+                  event can then be used to update stock levels, etc..
+
+          .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  *HyperM* want to extend this approach to allow some
+                  checks to be performed before the sale can be
+                  completed. This can be achieved by requesting a
+                  policy-controlled decision as each item is processed
+                  by for sale by each PoS system. The decision process
+                  is integrated with *HyperM*'s other IT systems that
+                  manage stock control, sourcing and purchasing,
+                  personnel systems, etc.
+
+          .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  In this document we will show how APEX and APEX
+                  Policies can be used to achieve this, starting with a
+                  simple policy, building up to more complicated policy
+                  that demonstrates the features of APEX.

+                     event with the following format is emitted:

+
+                  .. container:: paragraph
+
+                     In each ``SALE_INPUT`` event the ``sale_ID`` field
+                     is a unique ID generated by the PoS system. A
+                     timestamp for the event is stored in the ``time``
+                     field. The ``amount`` field refers to the value of
+                     the item(s) to be sold (in cents). The ``item_ID``
+                     field is a unique identifier for each item type,
+                     and can be used to retrieve more information about
+                     the item from *HyperM*'s stock control system. The
+                     ``quantity`` field refers to the quantity of the
+                     item to be sold. The ``assistant_ID`` field is a
+                     unique identifier for the PoS operator, and can be
+                     used to retrieve more information about the
+                     operator from the *HyperM*'s personnel system.
+                     Since *HyperM* has many branches the ``branch_ID``
+                     identifies the shop. The ``notes`` field contains
+                     arbitrary notes about the sale.

+
+                     For the first version of our policy, let’s start
+                     with something simple. Let us assume that there
+                     exists some restriction that alcohol products
+                     cannot be sold before 11:30am. In this section we
+                     will go through the necessary steps to define a
+                     policy that can enforce this for *HyperM*.

+                     :name: create_the_an_new_empty_policy_model_code_myfirstpolicymodel_code
+
+                  .. container:: paragraph
+
+                      Since an organisation like *HyperM* may have many
+                      policies covering many different domains, policies should
+                      be grouped into policy sets. In order to edit or deploy a
+                      policy, or policy set, the definition of the policy(ies)
+                      and all required events, tasks, states, etc., are grouped
+                      together into a 'Policy Model'. An organization might
+                      define many Policy Models, each containing a different
+                      set of policies.
+
+                  .. container:: paragraph
+
+                      So the first step is to create a new empty Policy Model
+                      called ``MyFirstPolicyModel``. Using the APEX Policy
+                      Editor, click on the 'File' menus and select 'New'. Then
+                      define our new policy model called
+                      ``MyFirstPolicyModel``. Use the 'Generate UUID' button to
+                      create a new unique ID for the policy model, and fill in
+                      a description for the policy model. Press the ``Submit``
+                      button to save your changes.

+               strings for the ``Source`` and ``Target``, e.g. ``POS``
+               and ``APEX``. At this stage we will not add any parameter

+               `Directed Acyclic Graph
+               (DAG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph>`__
+               of states. A *state* is triggered by passing it a single
+               input (or 'trigger') event and once executed each state
+               then emits an output event. For each *state* the logic
+               for the *state* is embedded in one or more *tasks*. Each
+               *task* contains specific *task logic* that is executed by
+               the APEX execution environment each time the *task* is
+               invoked. Where there is more than one *task* in a *state*

+               to select an appropriate task each time the *state* is
+               executed.

+
+            .. container:: paragraph

+               "MVEL" as the 'Task Logic Type / Flavour'.
+

+               between 1000 and 2000 contain alcohol, which is not very
+               realistic, but we will see a better approach for this

+               to check if the current time is between ``00:00:00 GMT``
+               and ``11:30:00 GMT``. For a detailed guide to how to

+               Let’s start with one state. Add a new state called
+               ``BoozeAuthDecide`` to this ``MyFirstPolicy`` policy

+            .. NOTE::
+
+              .. container:: paragraph
+                  In a 'Policy' 'State' a 'State Output Mapping' has 3 roles: 1) Select which 'State'
+                  should be executed next, 2) Select the type of the state’s 'Outgoing Event', and
+                  3) Populate the state’s 'Outgoing Event'. This is how states are chained together
+                  to form a (`Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph>`__)
+                  of states. The final state(s) of a policy are those that do not select any 'next'
+                  state. Since a 'State' can only accept a single type of event, the type of the
+                  event emitted by a previous 'State' must match the incoming event type of the next
+                  'State'. This is also how the last state(s) in a policy can emit events of
+                  different types. The 'State Output Mapping' is also responsible for taking the
+                  fields that are output by the task executed in the state and populating the
+                  state’s output populating the state’s output event before it is emitted.
+
+                  Each 'Task' referenced in 'State' must have a defined 'Output Mapping' to take the output of the task, select an 'Outgoing Event' type for the state, populate the state's outgoing event, and then select the next state to be executed (if any).
+
+                  There are 2 basic types of output mappings:
+
+              .. container:: olist arabic
+
+                  #. **Direct Output Mappings** have a single value for 'Next State' and a single value for 'State Output Event'. The outgoing event for the state is automatically created, any outgoing event parameters that were present in the incoming event are copied into the outgoing event, then any task output fields that have the same name and type as parameters in the outgoing event are automatically copied into the outgoing event.
+                  #. **Logic-Based State Output Mappings / Finalizers** have some logic defined that dynamically selects and creates the 'State Outgoing Event', manages the population of the outgoing event parameters (perhaps changing or adding to the outputs from the task), and then dynamically selects the next state to be executed (if any).
+
+            .. container:: paragraph
+
+               Each task reference must also have an associated 'Output
+               State Mapping' so we need an 'Output State Mapping' for
+               the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state to use when the
+               ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed. The simplest type
+               of output mapping is a 'Direct Output Mapping'.
+
+            .. container:: paragraph
+
+               Create a new 'Direct Output Mapping' for the state called
+               ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` using the 'Add New
+               Direct State Output Mapping' button. Select ``SALE_AUTH``
+               as the output event and select ``None`` for the next
+               state value. We can then select this output mapping for
+               use when the the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed.
+               Since there is only state, and only one task for that
+               state, this output mapping ensures that the
+               ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state is the only state executed and
+               the state (and the policy) can only emit events of type
+               ``SALE_AUTH``. (You may remember that the output fields
+               for the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task have the exact same
+               names and reuse the item schemas that we used for the
+               parameters in ``SALE_AUTH`` event. The
+               ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` direct output mapping
+               can now automatically copy the values from the
+               ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task directly into outgoing
+               ``SALE_AUTH`` events.)

+
+           .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  This module contains several demos for
+                  Policy-controlled Video Streaming (PCVS). Each demo
+                  defines a policy using AVRO and Javascript (or other
+                  scripting languages for the policy logic). To run the
+                  demo, a vanilla Ubuntu server with some extra software
+                  packages is required:
+
+               .. container:: ulist
+
+                  -  Mininet as network simulator
+
+                  -  Floodlight as SDN controller
+
+                  -  Kafka as messaging system
+
+                  -  Zookeeper for Kafka configuration
+
+                  -  APEX for policy control

+                  components are realized in this demo as follows:
+
+               .. container:: ulist
+
+                  -  *CEP / Analytics* - a simple Python script taking
+                     events from Kafka and sending them to APEX
+
+                  -  *APEX / Policy* - the APEX engine running the VPA
+                     SLA policy
+
+                  -  *Controller* - A vanilla Floodlight controller
+                     taking events from the Link Monitor and configuring
+                     Mininet
+
+                  -  *Network* - A network created using Mininet
+
+               .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  The demo requires to start some software (detailed
+                  below). To show actual video streams, we use ``VLC``.

+VPN SLA Policy
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+            .. container:: sectionbody
+
+               .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  The VPN SLA policy is designed as a MEDA policy. The
+                  first state (M = Match) takes the trigger event (a
+                  link up or down) and checks if this is a change to the
+                  known topology. The second state (E = Establish) takes
+                  all available information (trigger event, local
+                  context) and defines what situation we have. The third
+                  state (D = Decide) takes the situation and selects
+                  which algorithm is best to process it. This state can
+                  select between ``none`` (nothing to do), ``solved`` (a
+                  problem is solved now), ``sla`` (compare the current
+                  customer SLA situation and select one to impede), and
+                  ``priority`` (impede non-priority customers). The
+                  fourth and final state (A = Act) selects the right
+                  action for the taken decision and creates the response
+                  event sent to the orchestrator.
+
+               .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  We have added three more policies to set the local
+                  context: one for adding nodes, one for adding edges
+                  (links), and one for adding customers. These policies
+                  do not realize any action, they are only here for
+                  updating the local context. This mechanism is the
+                  fasted way to update local context, and it is
+                  independent of any context plugin.
+
+               .. container:: paragraph
+
+                  The policy uses data defined in Avro, so we have a
+                  number of Avro schema definitions.

+                  logic, we defined an Avro schema for an enumeration.
+                  This does not impact the trigger system (it can still
