+Ull Multiobjective Framework 
+==========================
+The Ull Multiobjective Framework provides the necessary tools to perform 
+dynamic load balancing in parallel iterative problems, mainly for heterogeneous systems. It is designed to simplify
+complex metric gathering and algorithms with a simple interface that require few lines of code.
+
+There are three implemented strategies to perform the dynamic load balancing:
+
+* Calibrate
+* Energy Heuristic
+* Time Heuristic
+
+Both the Calibrate and Time Heuristic perform load balance based on the differences in computational power.
+They differenciate from each other in how they generate new distributions.
+The Energy heuristic perform operations that are similar to the Time Heuristic, focused mainly in reducing energy
+consumption.
+
+More details can be found in the associated publications.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Doxygen-generated documentation will be added soon.
