A quantitative measure for the fairness of network resource distribution was proposed in Jain, Chiu and Hawe [1]. This fairness function is widely adopted in network design and management. This paper proposes a new distribution fairness score function. Compared the proposed fairness function to the one by Jain, Chiu and Hawe, the proposed fairness function keeps all the nice properties that Jai...

this paper presents pluralism as a historical process. the term pluralism frequently appears not only in the field of political philosophy but also in social sciences. in one sense, the growing literature is stimulating and enriching, nevertheless the abundance of material attempting to explain the various interpretations of pluralist theory can be convoluted and overwhelming. despite the const...

Although fairness is a key moral trait, limited research focuses on participants' observed behavior because traits are generally measured through self-report. This experiment focused day-to-day interpersonal rather than impersonal justice, and was assessed as behavior. The investigated whether self-reported trait would moderate situational influence behavior, such that individuals with stronger...

This paper examines the role of fairness and how it shapes a user’s view in IT-enabled change. Drawing from several fairness theories, components of fairness are identified and examined in two studies. The first study examines the role of fairness through user interviews and finds that all five components of fairness are considered by users in enterprise system implementations. The second study...

Since the utilization of multiuser diversity in wireless networks can increase the information theoretic capacity, much attention has been paid to schedulers exploiting multiuser diversity. It is known that there exists a tradeoff between the capacity and fairness achieved by schedulers exploiting multiuser diversity. Due to its good balance between the capacity and fairness, the one-bit feedba...

Efficient radio resource allocation algorithm is proposed in this paper. Proportional fair algorithm gives favorable performance compared to two classical algorithms max-C/I and RR. But PF algorithm does not consider QoS parameters while allocating resources to the users. Moreover with less transmission power utilization Fairness disappears in PF algorithm. A PFQoS-Centric is proposed in this p...

The important issue of an adaptive scheduling scheme is to maximize throughput while providing fair services to all users, especially under strict quality of service requirements. To achieve this goal, we consider the problem of multiuser scheduling under a given fairness constraint. A novel Adaptive Fairness and Throughput Control (AFTC) approach is proposed to maximize the network throughput ...

rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is tcp. this is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by tcp affect other sessions...

People exhibit peer-induced fairness concerns when they look to their peers as a reference to evaluate their endowments. We analyze two independent ultimatum games played sequentially by a leader and two followers. With peer-induced fairness, the second follower is averse to receiving less than the first follower. Using laboratory experimental data, we estimate that peer-induced fairness betwee...
