Based upon multiple criteria, MCADSS's goal is to maximise the diversity of members within groups, while minimising the average differences between groups. The project may be viewed from several perspectives: as a multicriteria decision making problem, as a"reverse" clustering problem, or as a personnel assignment problem. The system is currently being used to allocate MBA students into sections and study teams at INSEAD.
