The main task of Panopticon Streams is to execute and manage
streams applications. An application describes how data should be piped,
transformed, and processed. Applications consist of a set of inputs, operators, and
outputs that can be viewed as a directed graph with a set of nodes (or operators)
and a set of edges (or streams) that are interconnected with each other.
Note: Users only have access to the operations represented by
circles. The remainder of the graph represents tasks done by the backend
team.
