---++ Introduction

The ATLASWatchMan package is a new framework for physics analysis.
 
The *new idea* we put into this tool is the %RED% *high level of automatization in the creation of the Analysis Code*. Basically, it is a *software factory*: a generator of Analysys Code.  %ENDCOLOR%

ATLASWatchMan is a framework, because provides all the tools to let the user to define his or her analysis, and to plug-in his or her own private code and formulas.

The package parses the text-like file where the user insert his or her settings, and it returns the complete Atlas code, ready to be run, together with the _job option_ files and the script to run the jobs on the Grid.

Even if !ATLASWatchMan is a comprehensive framework to implement Analysis Code, the automatically and dynamically generated code is completely *framework independent*, so there is no hidden layers inside the code: the generated code is then *easy to understand* and *easy to validate*.

---++ %N% Highlights
| %T% | Analysis Code is %RED% *automatically and dynamically generated* %ENDCOLOR% from User Settings |
| %T% | You can generate analysis code *for how many channels/analyses you want*, via a Steering File |
| %T% | You can *work in a team*: each member can develop his/her own analysis and then you can *merge them to run them together* |
| %T% | The *generated analysis code is clear, explicit, very easy to understand*, without hidden objects or functions |
| %T% | You can *select objects*, perform *overlap removal* and *select events*, with or without skimming. |
| %T% | For each channel/analysis you can change selection, overlap and event selection cuts *independently* |
| %T% | Besides a library of default formulas for cuts, it's *extremely easy to add user-defined custom formulas* |
| %T% | The same automatically generated analysis code can be run *both on Athena and ARA, both locally and on Grid* |
| %T% | Both an *Athena and an ARA jobOption files are automatically generated*, according to the user settings in the Steering File |
| %T% | The analysis code can be *launched automatically on Grid*, with automatically generated scripts |
| %T% | The *bookkeeping* of submitted jobs is *eased* by !ATLASWatchMan scripts |
| %T% | The *output is a [[ATLASWatchManD3PDModel][D3PD]]* (plain !ROOT format) containing only one TTree |
| %T% | The *unique TTree* in the [[ATLASWatchManD3PDModel][D3PD]] *stores the output from all analyses* |
| %T% | In the TTree *objects and events* are stored only once, but they are *flagged* with selection cuts they passed |
| %T% | Although containing the output from all the analyses, *the generated [[ATLASWatchManD3PDModel][D3PD]] is indeed light and small* |
