LEMON

Library of Efficient Models and Optimization in Networks

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