We present the axiom of weighted component fairness for the class of forest games, a generalization of component fairness introduced by Herings, Talman and van der Laan (2008) in order to characterize the average tree solution. Given a system of weights, component efficiency and weighted component fairness yield a unique allocation rule. We provide an analysis of the set of allocation rules gen...

In this letter, we propose a new resource allocation scheme for a two-way OFDM relay network with fairness constraints. To maximize sum capacity, subcarriers and their power are successively allocated to the relays based on channel conditions. Also, the power constraint is imposed on each relay to achieve fairness for the relays. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves sum cap...

In this work we analyze the performance of scheduling algorithms with respect to fairness. Existing works frequently consider fairness as a job related issue. In our work we analyze fairness with respect to different users of the system as this is a very important real-life problem. First, we discuss how fair are selected popular scheduling algorithms with respect to different users of the syst...

As appeared in Computer Communications WW lodek Dobosiewicz Pawee l Gburzy nski y Vincent Maciejewski z present a model for measuring the fairness in LANs and MANs. Abstract Fairness of very high-speed networks became a focus of interest since the moment Distributed Queue Dual Bus (dqdb) gained popularity. Several papers exposed its unfairness; at the same time, many researchers argued that thi...

Formal verification methods model systems by Kripke structures. In order to model live behaviors of systems, Kripke structures are augmented with fairness conditions. Such conditions partition the computations of the systems into fair computations, with respect to which verification proceeds, and unfair computations, which are ignored. Reasoning about Kripke structures augmented with fairness i...

In paper [1], a liveness proof method suitable for inductive protocol verification is proposed. The utility of this method has been confirmed by several machine checked formal verifications[2–4]. One remaining question about [1] is the meaning of Parametric Fairness, a new fairness notion adapted from Pnueli’s Extreme Fairness[5] to suit the setting of higher-order logic. This paper tries to an...

Real-time, online multi-player games are becoming increasingly popular due to advances in game design and the proliferation of broadband Internet access. However, fairness remains a major challenge when players over large geographic areas participate in a client-server based game together. This paper proposes a game-independent, networkbased service, called Sync-MS, that balances the trade-off ...

The paper proposes a rational method to derive fairness measures for surfaces. It works in cases where isophotes, reflection lines, planar intersection curves, or other curves are used to judge the fairness of the surface. The surface fairness measure is derived by demanding that all the given curves should be fair with respect to an appropriate curve fairness measure. The method is applied to ...

Of all the issues that employees consider in organizational life, justice and fairness are among the most salient. Justice reflects the perceived adherence to rules that represent appropriateness in decision contexts (e.g., equity, consistency, respect, truthfulness). Fairness reflects a more global perception of appropriateness that lies downstream of justice. Our review integrates justice the...
