027/**
028 * Experimental criterion that allows an exam to be split
029 * into two if it decreases the number of student conflicts.
030 * <br><br>
031 * An examination split is improving (and is considered) if the weighted
032 * number of student conflicts that will be removed by the split is bigger 
033 * than the weight of the splitter criterion {@link ExamSplitter#getWeight()}.
034 * <br><br>
035 * To enable examination splitting, following parameters needs to be set:
036 * <ul>
037 *      <li>HillClimber.AdditionalNeighbours=org.cpsolver.exam.split.ExamSplitMoves
038 *      <li>GreatDeluge.AdditionalNeighbours=org.cpsolver.exam.split.ExamSplitMoves
039 *      <li>Exams.AdditionalCriteria=org.cpsolver.exam.split.ExamSplitter
040 *      <li>Exams.ExamSplitWeight=500
041 * </ul>
042 * The Exams.ExamSplitWeight represents the weight of a split. For instance, to
043 * allow only splits that decrease the number of student direct conflicts,
044 * half of the weight of a direct student conflict is a good value for this
045 * weight.
