+## Description
 
 In contrast to traditional data processing systems that provide one dedicated execution engine, Apache Wayang (incubating) is a *cross-platform data processing system*: Users can specify any data processing application using one of Wayang's APIs and then Wayang will choose the data processing platform(s), e.g., Postgres or Apache Spark, that best fits the application. Finally, Wayang will perform the execution, thereby hiding the different platform-specific APIs and coordinating inter-pl [...]

+### Building
+
 If you need to rebuild Wayang, e.g., to use a different Scala version, you can simply do so via Maven:
 
 1. Adapt the version variables (e.g., `spark.version`) in the main `pom.xml` file.
 2. Build Wayang with the adapted versions.
     ```shell
-    $ ./mvnw clean install
+   git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-wayang.git
+   cd incubator-wayang
+   ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
     ```
 > **NOTE:** If you receive an error about not finding `MathExBaseVisitor`, then the problem might be that you are trying to build from IntelliJ, without Maven. MathExBaseVisitor is generated code, and a Maven build should generate it automatically.

-**Configure Wayang.** In order for Wayang to work properly, it is necessary to tell Wayang about the capacities of your processing platforms and how to reach them. While there is a default configuration that allows to test Wayang right away, we recommend to create a properties file to adapt the configuration where necessary. To have Wayang use that configuration transparently, just run you app via
-```shell
-$ java -Dwayang.configuration=url://to/my/wayang.properties ...
+./mvnw clean install -DskipTests -P<profile name> 
 ```

-**Code with Wayang.** The recommended way to specify your apps with Wayang is via its Scala or Java API from the `wayang-api` module. You can find examples below.
-
-**Learn cost functions.**
-Wayang provides a utility to learn cost functions from historical execution data.
-Specifically, Wayang can learn configurations for load profile estimators (that estimate CPU load, disk load etc.) for both operators and UDFs, as long as the configuration provides a template for those estimators.
-As an example, the `JavaMapOperator` draws its load profile estimator configuration via the configuration key `wayang.java.map.load`.
-Now, it is possible to specify a load profile estimator template in the configuration under the key `<original key>.template`, e.g.:
-```xml
-wayang.java.map.load.template = {\
-  "in":1, "out":1,\
-  "cpu":"?*in0"\
-}
-```
-This template specifies a load profile estimator that expects (at least) one input cardinality and one output cardinality.
-Further, it models a CPU load that is proportional to the input cardinality.
-However, more complex functions are possible.
-In particular, you can use
-* the variables `in0`, `in1`, ... and `out0`, `out1`, ... to incorporate the input and output cardinalities, respectively;
-* operator properties, such as `numIterations` for the `PageRankOperator` implementations;
-* the operators `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%`, `^`, and parantheses;
-* the functions `min(x0, x1, ...))`, `max(x0, x1, ...)`, `abs(x)`, `log(x, base)`, `ln(x)`, `ld(x)`;
-* and the constants `e` and `pi`.
-
-While Wayang specifies templates for all execution operators, you will need to specify that your UDFs are modelled by some configuration-based cost function (see the k-means example below) and create the according initial specification and template yourself.
-Once, you gathered execution data, you can run
+## Running the tests
+In the incubator-wayang root folder run:
 ```shell
-java ... org.apache.wayang.profiler.ga.GeneticOptimizerApp [configuration URL [execution log]]
+./mvnw test
 ```
-This app will try to find appropriate values for the question marks (`?`) in the load profile estimator templates to fit the gathered execution data and ready-made configuration entries for the load profile estimators.
-You can then copy them into your configuration.
