	<introduction>
		<html:div>
			The Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) tool is designed to
			help scientists and public health officials create and use
			spatial and temporal models of emerging infectious diseases. These models
			could aid in understanding, and potentially preventing,
			the spread such diseases.
		</html:div>
	</introduction>
	<release_deliverables>
		<html:div>
			<html:p />
			STEM is delivered as an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)
			application runnable on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.  
			STEM 4.0 is based on and fully compatible with Eclipse 4.x
			Starting with STEM V3.0.0M1, STEM requires (J2SE) 8.0 JVM. 
			The STEM application includes tools
			for designing, simulating, and analyzing epidemiological models.
			STEM contains a wealth of prepackaged data in the form of existing
			disease models and simulations as well as geographic/demographic data
			for the world.
