    A typical robot application setup in ArmarX consists of dozens of applications, which offers the possibility to
    distribute the applications over multiple hosts to comply with hardware requirements or to balance the work-
    load. Additionally, ArmarX applications are highly configurable and require therefore robot specific properties
    to run successfully.
    To this end, we developed a graphical ScenarioManager tool to manage these application setups, called scenarios.
    With this tool, you can create a scenario, configure all its applications conveniently, and
    trigger and monitor the execution of all involved components.
