Library's programming interfaces and implementation requirements are introduced. Further we describe the usage of the provided command-line interface and graphical user interface for universal simulator. Three sample problem implementations from the biological and optimization fields are reviewed. Moreover, we consider possible directions for extending the library.</mods:abstract><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2006-12</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
