[gecode-users] Soft constraints ?

[Martin Mann]

Hi,

I am sorry to ask totally unprepared about the topic but hope you 
excuse. I've no deeper knowledge about soft constraints right now and 
not checked the Gecode API seriously for that. :)

Is there direct support for soft constraints in Gecode?
If so where to start looking?
If not is there an easy workaround to enable something similar? (Maybe 
some literature to start with?)

Sorry for asking without knowing much about the things I am intrested 
in. But we are thinking about a student thesis based on soft constraints 
and would like to implement it using Gecode.

Thanks for any reply,

Martin
