[gecode-users] Soft constraints ?

[Jorge Marques Pelizzoni]

I'm no soft constraints wiz either, but as far as I know this is how you
would approach it: all your soft constraints must be reified and used in
the concoction of a cost variable/function. Then you solve your problem by
optimizing this variable.

Cheers,

Jorge.
