[26]22[SEC]sec_intro_lemon[SEC] What is LEMON
[3]23
[24]24<b>LEMON</b> stands for <b>L</b>ibrary for <b>E</b>fficient <b>M</b>odeling and
[25]25<b>O</b>ptimization in <b>N</b>etworks. It is a C++ template library providing
26efficient implementations of common data structures and algorithms with
27focus on combinatorial optimization tasks connected mainly with graphs
[32]28and networks.
[3]29
30<b>LEMON is an <a class="el" href="http://opensource.org/">open&nbsp;source</a>
31project.
32You are free to use it in your commercial or non-commercial applications
[6]33under very permissive \ref license "license terms".</b>
34
[25]35This library helps to write programs that solve various optimization problems,
36which often arise when designing and testing certain networks,
[6]37for example in telecommunication, computer networks, logistics, scheduling,
38and other areas.
39A very natural way of modelling these networks is by means of a graph.
[25]40Generally, if you want to write any program that works with graphs,
[6]41then you might find it useful and convenient to use LEMON.

[3]47
48This tutorial introduces the reader to the basic concepts and features of
[6]49LEMON, and there are also some sections about advanced topics showing the
50power of various tools implemented in the library.
[3]51
[6]52After getting familiar with the basics of the library, you may start using
[25]53LEMON with the help of the detailed documentation (which can be viewed
[6]54as a reference manual).
