Tabular format is a common in open data. However, the meaning of columns not always explicit which makes if difficult for non-domain experts to reuse While most efforts making data FAIR are limited semantic metadata describing overall features datasets, such description enough ensure interoperability and reusability. This paper proposes reduce this weakness thanks (FAIR) core model that able re...

A pooled analysis of randomized placebo controlled antidepressant trials shows that the rate of antidepressant and placebo responders are 50% and 30% respectively. The traditional calculation of drug-placebo difference (50-30=20%) in these drug-trials is based on the assumption that all placebo responders should be antidepressant responders. However, it seems to be not the case, since about one...

Feedback control of QoS-aware servers has recently gained much popularity due to its robustness in the face of uncertainty and modeling errors. Performance of servers is characterized by the behavior of queues, which constitute the main elements of the control loop. The central role of queues in the loop motivates understanding their behavior in the context of feedback control schemes. A popula...

Class-based traffic treatment frameworks such as Differentiated Service (DiffServ) have been proposed to resolve the poor scalability problem in the flow-based approach. Although the performance is differentiated in a class-based basis, the performance seen by individual flows in the same class may differ from that seen by the class and has not been well understood. We investigate this issue by...

Wireless channels are characterized by more serious bursty and location-dependent errors. Many packet scheduling algorithms have been proposed for wireless networks to guarantee fairness and delay bounds. However, most existing schemes do not consider the difference of traffic natures among packet flows. This will cause the delay-weight coupling problem. In particular, serious queuing delays ma...

In this paper, the problem of fair scheduling in a wireless network is formulated as an assignment problem and an Optimal Radio Channel Allocation (ORCA) strategy is proposed for fair bandwidth allocation in a centralized manner. Simulation results show that the performance improvement due to ORCA can be significant compared to other wireless fairqueuing mechanisms proposed in the literature su...
