soft decision decoding of Reed-Solomon

Hi,
    I work out a method soft decision decoding of Reed-Solomon codes.
Somebody is known on this method or has some information on this theme?
I will very grateful for every help.

There is a number of technologies suitable for the soft decision
decoding of the cyclic codes. Basically there are two main strategies:

1. Trellis search algorithms (Viterbi, Fano, stack decoder, turbo, etc.)
2. Decoding with erasures and the proximity search algorithms (Forney,
etc.).

2. Johannesson and Zigangirov. "Fundamentals of convolutional coding"
