     5 LEMON is the abbreviation of Library of Efficient Models  | 
         | 
     6 and Optimization in Networks. It is an open source  | 
         | 
     7 library written in C++. It provides a set of easy-to-use  | 
         | 
     8 implementation of common data structures and algorithms  | 
         | 
     9 in the area of optimization and helps implementing new  | 
         | 
    10 ones. It is an especially suitable tool to solve the  | 
         | 
    11 design and optimization problems of telecommunications  | 
         | 
    12 networks. To achieve wide usability, a fundamental design  | 
         | 
    13 requirement is the genericity of interface of data  | 
         | 
    14 structures and algorithms. Lemon is intended to become an  | 
         | 
    15 open source library in order to involve people all around  | 
         | 
    16 the world in its development.  |

    18 The subdirectories 'autopackage', 'build-aux' and 'm4' are  | 
         | 
    19 needed by installation. In subdirectory 'benchmark'  | 
         | 
    20 programs can be found that observe the performance of LEMON.  | 
         | 
    21 Subdirectory 'demo' contains some demonstration programs to  | 
         | 
    22 make you easier to getting familiar with LEMON. Documentation  | 
         | 
    23 of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'doc'. Source code of  | 
         | 
    24 LEMON is in subdirectory 'lemon'. Some useful scripts related  | 
         | 
    25 to the usage of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'scripts'.  | 
         | 
    26 In subdirectory 'test' you can find some programs, proofing  | 
         | 
    27 you the correctness of some implementations.  |
