SOGgy Constraints: Soft Open Global Constraints

We investigate soft open constraints. We generalize and unify classes of soft constraints and adapt them to the open setting. We give sufficient conditions for generalized classes of decomposition-based and edit-based soft constraints to be contractible. Finally, we outline a propagator for an open generalized edit-based soft Regular constraint.
