22[SEC]sec_intro_lemon[SEC] What is LEMON
23
24<b>LEMON</b> stands for <b>L</b>ibrary for <b>E</b>fficient <b>M</b>odeling and
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
28and networks.
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
33under very permissive \ref license "license terms".</b>
34
35This library helps to write programs that solve various optimization problems,
36which often arise when designing and testing certain networks,
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.
40Generally, if you want to write any program that works with graphs,
41then you might find it useful and convenient to use LEMON.

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