Preference Based Fair Allocation of Limitted Resources
The fair division of scarce resources among agents is a challenging issue across a range of applications, especially when there is competition among agents. One application of resource division is in Air Traffic Management (ATM). This dissertation is motivated by the fairness issues that arise in …

Fair allocation of operations and makespan minimization for multiple robotic agents
… indivisible operations to a set of agents in a fair and efficient manner while also minimizing the makespan. We first present the Operation Trading Algorithm that generates allocations satisfying the DEQx (Duplicated Equitability up to any operation) fairness criterion while also guaranteeing an …

Fair allocation and trading of surface water rights under the Riparian Doctrine
… by offstream users, while preserving the fair sharing philosophy of the common-law Riparian Doctrine. Traditionally, this doctrine requires that riparians (users owning land adjacent to a stream) limit their withdrawals to what can be judged as “reasonable use.” Water allocation …

Cost Sharing Models in Game Theory = Költségelosztási modellek a játékelméletben
… and we have sought answers to the question of \fairly" distributing this common cost or profit. We have formulated properties and axioms describing our expecta- tions of a \fair" allocation. We have utilized cooperative game theoretical methods for modeling. After the introduction, in Chapter 2 …

Geometric modeling and analysis of dynamic resource allocation mechanisms
… is the investigation of a specific resource allocation optimization problem whose solution has both practical application as well as theoretical interest. It is presented as a specific case of a more general modeling framework we put forth. The underlying question asks how to partition a …

A web API service for calculating credit attributable to authors
… research is built, it becomes possibly to more fairly allocate income and incentivise ongoing research. This research focusses on providing a means to allocate credit to the authors of works cited by research on the UniCoin platform by means of citation network analysis and the calculation of …

Commercialization of a masonry tool designed in a senior-capstone class through a licensing agreement
… Cash flows were projected to determine a fair allocation of economic benefit in a licensing agreement; RTE should expect to receive about 4.5% royalty on revenue. Moving forward, RTE should pursue funding to complete the patent process as well as a pilot program with masons, and continue …

A Solution to optimal and fair rate adaptation in wireless mesh networks
… deals with nding an optimal solution to resource allocation in wireless mesh networks. These networks require a solution to fair and optimal resource allocation that is decentralised and self-con guring, as users in such networks do not submit to a central authority. The solution presented is …

Evaluating upstream supply chain disruptions with partial availability
… strategies. The framework is used to compare two allocation policies (fair allocation and preferential product allocation) for the distribution of scarce inventory in times of disruption. The framework is then applied to data from a food products manufacturer to determine the impacts of a …

Mobile ad hoc networks for oceanic aircraft communications
… link performance, and optimal network allocation. At the center of this simulation lies an aircraft mobility model which fuses airline schedule data with probabilistic flight delay and cancellation events. An SNR-based link capacity model is used to predict feasible communication rates …

"Can religious treatment choices justify additional healthcare expenditure and, if so, are there limits to this?"
… decide how to balance individual rights with the fair allocation of resources. This paper considers religious perspectives on healthcare treatments and whether, in respecting these, additional expenditure can be justified. Included within this assessment is a case with extreme characteristics that …

Analysis of potential implementations of pushback control at LaGuardia Airport
… departures at LaGuardia, demonstrating a fair allocation strategy.

Determining influence in social networks using Social Capital
… core of this method we use the popular valuation-allocation approach for finding the individual social capital value. In this approach first we determine the value of the entire network using a valuation function and then we do a fair allocation of this entire network's value amongst the …

Design of Multi-layer Telecommunication Networks: Fairness, Resilience, and Load Balancing
… defined as mathematical programmes, focusing on fair bandwidth allocation among demands, recovery mechanisms, and load balancing on network links. Assuming elastic traffic, fair allocation of network bandwidth among the users is not trivial since different users may have different preferences and …

Subset Selection via Spectral Objectives
… including machine learning, network design, and fair allocation of goods. We use a geometric model for this problem where the items (or their qualities) are represented by d-dimensional vectors. That is, given a large set E, where each element is represented by a real vector, select a small …

Public transit planning with consideration to equity: A Utility Modelling Approach
… mathematical approaches: i) proportional fairness and ii) alpha-fairness, which integrate all (a) to (c) aspects of equity (listed in the previous paragraph) and users’ perspectives of frequency. The numerical analysis addresses several variations of the fair allocation problem from …

Fairness for resource allocation in cloud computing.
Resource allocation with fairness, considering multiple types of resources has become a substantial concern in state-of-the-art computing systems. Accordingly, the rapid growth of cloud computing has highlighted the importance of resource management as a complicated and NP-hard problem. Unlike …

Cooperative Game Theory and Non-convex Optimization Analysis of Spectrum Sharing
… a multi-hop wireless network need to agree on a fair allocation of spectrum. We show that in high interference environments, the utility space of the game is non-convex, which may make some optimal allocations unachievable with pure strategies. However, we show that as the number of channels …

Coding in 802.11 WLANs
… Finally, we consider the proportional fair allocation of high-layer coding rates and airtimes in 802.11 WLANs, taking link losses and delay constraints into account. We ¯nd that a layered approach of separating MAC scheduling and higher-layer coding rate selection is optimal. The …
