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...

Fairness is a mathematical abstraction used in the modeling of a wide range of phenomena, including concurrency, scheduling, and probability. In this paper, we study fairness in the context of probabilistic systems, and we introduce probabilistic fairness, a novel notion of fairness that is itself deened in terms of probability. The deenition of probabilistic fairness makes it invariant with re...

One of the Multi-Agent Systems that is widely used by various government agencies, buyers and sellers in a market economy, in such a manner so as to attain optimized resource allocation, is the Combinatorial Auctioning System (CAS). We study another important aspect of resource allocations in CAS, namely fairness. We present two important notions of fairness in CAS, extended fairness and basic ...

We consider sequential and concurrent probabilistic processes and propose a general notion of fairness with respect to probabilistic choice, which allows to express various notions of fairness such as process fairness and event fairness. We show the soundness of proving the validity of qualitative properties of probabilistic processes under fairness constraints in the sense that whenever all fa...

Purpose: The aim of this article is to compare the fairness perception traditional (face-to-face) and synchronous video interviews as personnel selection tools, an investigation candidates’ characteristics influencing their full acceptance interviews. Design/Methodology/Approach: An e-questionnaire conducted on a large panel in January 2019 consisting 448 participants with method logistic multi...

This paper addresses Available Bit Rate (ABR) service fairness in wide area ATM networks. In traac management, fairness is generally understood as equally sharing the available bandwidth of a link among all its contending users. The most widely used speciic fairness measure is Max-Min fairness 14]. Fairness is a very important performance measurement for ABR ow control, but no mathematical fair...
