Follow these steps to start working with HeuristicLab Optimizer:

	1.	Open an algorithm
		●	click "New Item" in the toolbar and select an algorithm or click "Open File" in the toolbar and load an algorithm from a file
	2.	Open a problem in the algorithm
		●	on the "Problem" tab of the algorithm click "New Problem" and select a problem or click "Open Problem" and load a problem from a file
	3.	Set parameters
		●	set algorithm parameters on the "Parameters" tab of the algorithm
		●	set problem parameters on the "Problem" tab of the algorithm
	4.	Run the algorithm
		●	click "Start/Resume Algorithm" () to execute the algorithm (if the button is grayed out some parameters of the algorithm or the problem still have to be set)
		●	wait for the algorithm to terminate or click "Pause Algorithm" () to interrupt its execution
	5.	Check results
		●	check the results on the "Results" tab of the algorithm
		●	click "Start/Resume Algorithm" () to continue the algorithm or click "Reset Algorithm" () to prepare a new run

Looking for predefined algorithms which can be executed immediately?
	●	download the HeuristicLab Starter Kit from http://www.heuristiclab.com which contains many algorithm and problem files or
	●	check the sample algorithms below

May the global optimum be with you! Have fun!
