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

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