Automated run via Python

• pip install -r requirements.txt
• python runner.py

Manual run via MiniZinc IDE

• Run with solve maximize GOAL; first to find the maximal satisfaction score.
• Then run with constraint satisfactionRatio >= [score]; %solve satisfy; to generate all equally optimal schedules.
