Algorithmic fairness for artificial intelligence has become increasingly relevant as these systems become more pervasive in society. One realm of AI, recommender systems, presents unique challenges for fairness due to trade offs between…
This paper investigates two key performance aspects of the interplay between public DNS resolution services and content delivery networks -- the latency of DNS queries for resolving CDN-accelerated hostnames and the latency between the…
This paper presents various access ways to Internet for home users, both for those who are low consumers (consumed time online or traffic monthly value), or large consumers (unlimited connection). The main purpose of the work consists in…
Metaverse as the next-generation Internet provides users with physical-virtual world interactions. To improve the quality of immersive experience, users access to Metaverse service providers (MSPs) and purchase bandwidth resource to reduce…
There is an increasing demand for P2P streaming in particular for layered video. In this category of applications, the stream is composed of hierarchically encoded sub-streams layers namely the base layer and enhancements layers. We…
Music recommendation services collectively spin billions of songs for millions of listeners on a daily basis. Users can typically listen to a variety of songs tailored to their personal tastes and preferences. Music is not the only type of…
Central to privacy concerns is that firms may use consumer data to price discriminate. A common policy response is that consumers should be given control over which firms access their data and how. Since firms learn about a consumer's…
Moderating user-generated content on online platforms is crucial for balancing user safety and freedom of speech. Particularly in the United States, platforms are not subject to legal constraints prescribing permissible content. Each…
We are studying some fundamental properties of the interface between control and data planes in Information-Centric Networks. We try to evaluate the traffic between these two planes based on allowing a minimum level of acceptable distortion…
We modify the standard model of price competition with horizontally differentiated products, imperfect information, and search frictions by allowing consumers to flexibly acquire information about a product's match value during their…
Several autonomous energy management and peer-to-peer trading mechanisms for future energy markets have been recently proposed based on optimization and game theory. In this paper, we study the impact of trading prices on the outcome of…
Network neutrality (NN) is a principle of equal treatment of data in network infrastructures with fairness and universality being the primary outcomes of the NN management practice. For networks, the accomplishment of NN management practice…
Fixed Communication Provider (FCP) is a consortium of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which users can switch easily and freely between their ISPs. In order to increase the QoS of the ISPs, we propose a two class service model as the…
