Efficiency and Fairness in Air Traffic Control

چکیده
Air Traffic Control Planning is a complex area of research in which there is a great need for new and efficient coordination techniques. The tight connection between several parties with different interests makes it a typical and challenging area for the application of multiagent techniques. We study the relation between two important underlying principles in airport traffic planning, namely utility and fairness. We model the problem as a multiagent resource allocation problem and show how one can improve on global utility and fairness if planning history is involved. We introduce three techniques using history and evaluate their performance

Efficient Take-Back Legislation
P roduct and waste take-back is becoming more regulated by countries to protect the environment. Such regulation puts an economic burden on firms, while creating fairness concerns and potentially even missing its primary target: environmental benefits. This research discusses the economic and environmental impacts of extended producer responsibility type of legislation and identifies efficiency...
متن کاملDesigning Equitable Operational Objectives: A Theory of Tradeoffs and a Case Study
This paper deals with a basic issue: how does one approach the problem of designing the “right” objective for a given resource allocation problem. The notion of what is “right” can be fairly nebulous; we consider two issues that we see as key: efficiency and fairness. We approach the problem of designing objectives that account for the natural tension between efficiency and fairness in the cont...
متن کاملFairness Analysis and Improvement of Transport Layer Protocols
The article presents a comparison of fairness properties of different congestion control schemes. It is hard to investigate the various protocol mechanisms implemented in transport protocols; therefore a simulator called SimCast is developed for the analysis of fairness characteristics of transport protocols as well as a network traffic generator and measurement tool called SimTest. This articl...
متن کاملFairness of the Tcp-based New Aimd Congestion Control Algorithm
Congestion control is one of the fundamental issues in computer networks. In transport control protocol (TCP) the performance of protocol is being measured based on fairness and efficiency. The fairness on round trip time (RTT) can be measured using the algorithm based on two flows or more than that. Congestion control is an effort to adapt the performance of a network to changes in the traffic...
متن کاملCross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness
This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...
