     1.4 +LEMON
     1.5 +
     1.6 +Library of Efficient Models and Optimization in Networks
     1.7 +
     1.8 +LEMON is the abbreviation of Library of Efficient Models
     1.9 +and Optimization in Networks. It is an open source
    1.10 +library written in C++. It provides a set of easy-to-use
    1.11 +implementation of common data structures and algorithms
    1.12 +in the area of optimization and helps implementing new
    1.13 +ones. It is an especially suitable tool to solve the
    1.14 +design and optimization problems of telecommunications
    1.15 +networks. To achieve wide usability, a fundamental design
    1.16 +requirement is the genericity of interface of data
    1.17 +structures and algorithms. Lemon is intended to become an
    1.18 +open source library in order to involve people all around
    1.19 +the world in its development.
    1.20 +
    1.21 +The subdirectories 'autopackage', 'build-aux' and 'm4' are
    1.22 +needed by installation. In subdirectory 'benchmark'
    1.23 +programs can be found that observe the performance of LEMON.
    1.24 +Subdirectory 'demo' contains some demonstration programs to
    1.25 +make you easier to getting familiar with LEMON. Documentation
    1.26 +of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'doc'. Source code of
    1.27 +LEMON is in subdirectory 'lemon'. Some useful scripts related
    1.28 +to the usage of LEMON can be found in subdirectory 'scripts'.
    1.29 +In subdirectory 'test' you can find some programs, proofing
    1.30 +you the correctness of some implementations.
    1.31 +
    1.32 +See file COPYING for copying, distribution and modification
    1.33 +conditions and terms.
    1.34 +
    1.35 +For general building and installation instructions, see the
    1.36 +file INSTALL.
    1.37 +
    1.38 +Version number of the package is the highest one written in
    1.39 +file NEWS.
