Abstract Organisations increasingly use automated decision-making systems (ADMS) to inform decisions that affect humans and their environment. While the of ADMS can improve accuracy efficiency processes, it is also coupled with ethical challenges. Unfortunately, governance mechanisms currently used oversee human often fail when applied ADMS. In previous work, we proposed ethics-based auditing (...

The panorama of editorial automation is moving at a fast clip in many organisations around the world. However, transition towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies as supporting processes go their own pace other contexts beyond US Europe cast doubts about implementation. This article examines perceived ideas problems Australian newsrooms. It investigates to what ext...

We study the problem of traffic grooming in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) rings with dynamic traffic. We consider both unidirectional and bi-directional rings. In our dynamic traffic model, traffic is represented by a set of different traffic requirements that the network needs to satisfy, but at different times. Our objective is to minimize the required number of electronic add/drop m...

The use of novel devices such as acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) to support the lower pole in implant-based breast reconstructions (IBBRs) has been described as one of the most important advances in breast reconstructive surgery following mastectomy. However, the majority of outcomes studies focus primarily on providing evidence for the rates of short-term complications associated with their u...

One way of verifying a grammar is the detection of ambiguities. Ambiguities are not always unwanted, but they can only be controlled if their sources are known. Unfortunately, the ambiguity problem for context-free grammars is undecidable in the general case. Various ambiguity detection methods (ADMs) exist, but they can never be perfect. In this paper we explore three ADMs to test whether they...

We study wavelength assignment for lightpaths over WDM rings to minimize the SONET ADMs used. This problem has attracted much attention recently. However, its computation complexity remains unknown, and the only known heuristic [6] which does not allow the splitting of lightpaths is problematic in both the algorithm itself and its performance analysis. We first prove the NP-completeness of this...

Multimedia services typically need not only huge resources but also a fairly stable level of Quality of Services. This requires server architectures that enable continuous adaptation. The Adaptive Distributed Multimedia Server (ADMS) of the University Klagenfurt is able to dynamically add and remove nodes to the actual configuration, thus realizing the offensive adaptation approach. This paper ...

Minimizing the number of add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) in a unidirectional SONET ring can be formulated as a graph decomposition problem. When traffic requirements are uniform and all-to-all, groomings that minimize the number of ADMs (equivalently, the drop cost) have been characterized for grooming ratio at most six. However, when two different traffic requirements are supported, these solutio...
