Algorithmic fairness aims to remedy issues stemming from algorithmic bias.

Recent research has found that fairness plays a key role in customer satisfaction. Fairness in an online context and how it influences customer satisfaction, however, has yet been investigated. This research examines satisfaction from a fairness lens and explores the mediators of fairness to satisfaction in the internet bank context. 131 surveys were analyzed and results show that in internet b...

Plagiate und andere Fälle wissenschaftlichen Fehlverhaltens landen regelmäßig in den Medien geben auch Außenstehenden Einblicke problematische Forschungsprozesse. Während diese Skandale ein Schlaglicht auf offensichtliche oder absichtliche Fehler werfen, sind die alltäglichen Herausforderungen wissenschaftlicher Praxis weitaus komplexer. Die Autor*innen analysieren Vielschichtigkeit Verwobenhei...

There are many medium access control (MAC) protocols proposed to achieve fairness in presence of hidden and/or exposed nodes. In [2] a general approach to address the propblem of fairness is proposed. This approach defines a fairness index and the goal is to minimize this fairness index to achieve fairness. in this paper we propose a fairness index by taking into account both node’s data traffi...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...

In this paper we consider the notions of global-fairness (G-fairness) and bounded-fairness (B-fairness) for arbitrary Petri nets (PNs). G-fairness in a PN guarantees every transition occurs infinitely often in every valid firing sequence of infinite length. B-fairness guarantees a bound on the number of times a transition in the PN can fire without some transition firing at least once. These pr...

Fairness is an important concept in design and implementation of distributed systems. At the specification level, fairness usually serves as an assumption for proving liveness. At implementation level, the question becomes how to implement the underlying fairness which is assumed to be true at the specification level. In this paper, we study four types of fairness, the so-called w-fairness (wea...

In modeling a concurrent system, fairness constraints are usually considered at a specific granularity level of the system, leading to many different variants of fairness: transition fairness, object/process fairness, actor fairness, etc. These different notions of fairness can be unified by making explicit their parametrization over the relevant entities in the system as universal quantificati...

This is the first part of a two-part paper in which we discuss the implementability of fairness notions in distributed systems where asynchronous processes interact via synchronous constructs—usually called multiparty interactions. In this part we present a criterion for fairness notions and show that if a fairness notion violates the criterion, then no deterministic algorithm for scheduling mu...
