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...

© 2014 Mahmoud Daneshvar Farzanegan et al. 69 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.14.0112.0524 The scheduling scheme in packet switching networks is one of the most critical features that can affect the performance of the network. Hence, many scheduling algorithms have been suggested and some indices, such as fairness and latency, have been proposed for the comparison of their performances. While t...

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...

We consider several scheduling problems for packet based systems with time-varying channel conditions. Designing scheduling mechanisms that take advantage of time-varying channel conditions, which are different for different users, is necessary to improve system performance; however this has to be done in a way that provides some level of fairness among the users. Such scheduling mechanisms are...

A Fair Queueing Algorithm is proposed for data services in an integrated voice/data CDMA system. After delay-sensitive voice users are allocated first, then residual resources are allocated to data users according to the throughput maximization strategy. In order to fairly allocate data users, we use power resource concept which considers the BER and the rate requirement of data users, and appl...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of two Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) architectures considering throughput, delay, jitter and fairness index metrics. For simulations, we used ns-3, Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). We compare the performance of WMN for different Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Tahoe, Reno and NewReno considering norm...

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...

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...

This paper presents a theory of fairness within the framework of Dijkstra's weakest preconditions and Back's action systems. It is general enough to deal with all kinds of fairness, not just strong and weak fairness. A deenition of fairness and reenement to deal with non-terminating programs is also obtained. For terminating and non-terminating programs with and without fairness, theorems about...
