public class DistributionPenalty
extends ExamCriterion

Distribution penalty. I.e., sum weights of violated distribution constraints.

A weight of violated distribution soft constraints (see ExamDistributionConstraint) can be set by problem property Exams.RoomDistributionWeight, or in the input xml file, property roomDistributionWeight.
