We argue that different types of managerial controls – mechanisms to direct subordinate’s tasks – increase the salience of particular aspects of fairness among subordinates. In a series of survey and scenario studies, we find that subordinates who perceive market controls engage in distributive fairness monitoring, subordinates who recognize bureaucratic controls engage in procedural fairness m...

Price fairness is an important factor that influences online shopper drop-out rate in online shopping. This research attempts to understand the factors that influence online shoppers’ perceived price fairness. Based on the equity theory, we argue that perceived promotion fairness plays an important role in influencing perceived price fairness. We further argue that perceived promotion fairness ...

the accountability for reasonableness (afr) concept has been developed and discussed for over two decades. its interpretation has been studied in several ways partly guided by the specific settings and the researchers involved. this has again influenced the development of the concept, but not led to universal application. the potential use in health technology assessments (htas) has recently be...

User Fairness aims at fairly distributing the network resources among users, where a user is an entity that can possibly send different flows through different paths. In this paper we first propose a criterion for user fairness based on political economics fairness theory: the User Maxmin Fairness criterion. Then we propose an architecture, User Fair Queuing (UFQ), that provides user maxmin fai...

The paper takes advantage and develops the fundamental Best’s ideas about fairness hierarchy and conspiracies in concurrent systems. Near to the start we characterize liveness with the notion of ∞-fairness. Next we show that the conspiracy-freeness problem is decidable for elementary nets and undecidable for place/transition nets. The main aim of the paper was to put places into work against co...

Fairness is an inherent and fundamental factor of queue service disciplines in a large variety of queueing applications. Service time variability across jobs is an important factor affecting both system performance and scheduling rules (for example, computer systems that prioritize short jobs over long jobs). Service time variability and its effects on mean response times have been studied exte...

Fairness in traffic management can improve the isolation between traffic streams, offer a more predictable performance, eliminate transient bottlenecks, mitigate the effect of certain kinds of denial-ofservice attacks, and serve as a critical component of a quality-ofservice strategy to achieve certain guaranteed services such as delay bounds and minimum bandwidths. While fairness in bandwidth ...

Many temporal logic properties of interest involve both state and action predicates and only hold under suitable fairness assumptions. Temporal logics supporting both state and action predicates such as the Temporal Logic of Rewriting (TLR) can be used to express both the desired properties and the fairness assumptions. However, model checking such properties directly can easily become impossib...

Abstract Efforts to promote equitable public policy with algorithms appear be fundamentally constrained by the “impossibility of fairness” (an incompatibility between mathematical definitions fairness). This technical limitation raises a central question about algorithmic fairness: How can computer scientists and policymakers support reforms algorithms? In this article, I argue that promoting j...
