This paper addresses the challenge of integrating the compatibility criterion between candidates into the committee selection process under scoring rules. The compatibility between candidates is considered by assigning each committee a vector of weights based on this criterion. The goal is to choose a committee by taking into account both the compatibility between candidates and their performance based on scores. To achieve this, the paper defines a continuous weighted scoring function characterized by two crucial properties: linearity and independence of zero-weight members.
