Today’s cloud networks are shared among many tenants. Bandwidth guarantees and work conservation are two key properties to ensure predictable performance for tenant applications and high network utilization for providers. Despite significant efforts, very little prior work can really achieve both properties simultaneously even some of them claimed so. In this paper, we present QShare, an in-net...

[1] Current flowing in the global atmospheric electrical circuit (AEC) substantially decreased during the twentieth century. Fair-weather potential gradient (PG) observations in Scotland and Shetland show a previously unreported annual decline from 1920 to 1980, when the measurements ceased. A 25% reduction in PG occurred in Scotland 1920– 50, with the maximum decline during the winter months. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We assessed the underestimation of cerebral perfusion measured by the flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery (FAIR) technique in patients with carotid stenosis and compared the technique with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 42 areas of decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) using 3 FAIR images with different inversio...

A Fair Queueing Algorithm is proposed for data services in an integrated voice/data CDMA system. We introduce short-term and long-term fairness concepts to allocate data users fairly. Using these concepts, we propose Weighted Fair Queueing with Status Control(WFQS) in the consideration of a Generalized Processor Sharing(GPS) ¤uid-¤ow model. This proposed scheme allocates resources using channel...

With growing awareness of societal impact artificial intelligence, fairness has become an important aspect machine learning algorithms. The issue is that human biases towards certain groups population, defined by sensitive features like race and gender, are introduced to the training data through collection labeling. Two directions ensuring research have focused on (i) instance weighting in ord...

Given the recent changes in the policy governing Internet content distribution, such as the institution of per listener royalties for Internet radio broadcasters, content distributors now have an incentive to under-report the size of their audience. Previous audience measurement schemes only protect against inflation of audience size. We present the first protocols for audience measurement that...
