+This library helps to write programs that solve optimization problems
+that arise frequently when designing and testing certain networks,
+for example in telecommunication, computer networks, logistics, scheduling,
+and other areas.
+A very natural way of modelling these networks is by means of a graph.
+Generally if you want to write any program that works with graphs,
+then you might find it useful and convenient to use LEMON.
