Making just school assignments
An assignment mechanism that eliminates justified envy is typically interpreted as being fair. It is well known that it is impossible for a mechanism to be strategyproof, Pareto efficient, and eliminate justified envy, but it is unknown what the strongest notion of fairness is that is achievable by a strategyproof and efficiency mechanism. We define an assignment to be unjust if a student i is ...
متن کاملSide Effects of Agents Are Not Just Random
Side effects are an important characteristic of MAS, and proving them is an interesting issue. They often can be expressed as liveness properties. But there is no system dedicated to this kind of proof. The GDT4MAS framework allows to specify and prove the correctness of multiagent systems. This framework is mainly dedicated to prove safety properties about the system and to prove that agents a...

Making good choices about retirement involves the processing of numbers. In particular, consumers must have easily available, accurate, and timely numbers, and they must also use them. Contrary to the consumer-driven approach, however, the evidence demonstrates that having an abundance of information does not always translate into it being used to inform choices. The challenge is not merely to ...
متن کاملMismatch negativity in school-age children to speech stimuli that are just perceptibly different.
The mismatch negativity event-related potential (MMN) was elicited in normal school-age children in response to just perceptibly different variants of the speech phoneme /da/. A significant MMN was measured in each subject tested. Child and adult MMNs were similar with respect to peak latency and duration. Measures of MMN magnitude (peak-to-peak amplitude and area) were significantly larger in ...
متن کاملSchool Sorting and Disclosure: Disclosure to Families
How and why are children assigned to specific third grade teachers? Would it be a good thing if public schools had formal mechanisms for informing parents about who makes those teacher assignments and about what criteria they use? Might it be even better if parents were told precisely how their own child's assignment is made? This is where we started. These questions, which no one else seems to...
