+    <description>
+        The JAMES core module is part of the JAMES framework for discrete optimization
+        using local search metaheuristics in Java. The core contains many general components
+        for both problem specification and search application. It includes a wide range of
+        generic optimization algorithms to solve the specified problems. Moreover, the core
+        provides implementations of specific components for subset selection.
