			LibMultiScale
			=============

			In simulations, particle approaches can be helpful when the
			discreteness of matter needs to be taken into account. Multiscale
			coupling methods allow to reduce the prohibitive computational costs
			of discrete methods. For instance, with these approaches one can
			couple an atomic description with a macroscopic model of continuum
			mechanics.

			LibMultiScale is a C++ parallel framework for the multiscale
			coupling methods dedicated to material simulations. This framework is
			designed as a library providing an API which makes it possible to
			program coupled simulations. The coupled parts can be provided by
			existing projects. In such a manner, the API gives C++ templated
			interfaces to reduce to the maximum the cost of integration taking the
			form of plugins or alike. LAMMPS (Sandia laboratories) and Akantu
			(LSMS) have been integrated to provide a functional framework.

			The LibMultiScale is now distributed with a joint CECILL-C and GPL
			open-source licence with a shared copyrights between INRIA, CEA and
			EPFL.
