The name Panoptes originates from Greek mythology where Panoptes is an all-seeing giant with a hundred eyes (refer to the Panoptes or Argus articles on Wikipedia for further details).

Panoptes is structured as a CMT project containing an application package, also called Panoptes, and a set of packages (component and linker both) specific to the online monitoring of the RICH detector. The application package provides the job options and main program for running the Panoptes application for both offline tests and in the online environment.

In detail, the constituent packages are:

Rich/Panoptes The main application package with the top-level options files
Rich/RichMonitoringSys Options-files for the individual monitoring applications
Rich/RichMonitoringTools Tools for the RICH online monitoring algorithms, including CAMERA
Rich/RichOnlineMonitors The actual monitoring algorithms
