  Requirements for correlation measurements in high--multiplicity events are
discussed. Attention is focussed on detection of so--called hot spots,
two--particle rapidity correlations, two--particle momentum correlations (for
quantum interferometry) and higher--order correlations. The signal--to--noise
ratio may become large in the high--multiplicity limit, allowing meaningful
single--event measurements, only if the correlations are due to collective
behavior.
