The issue of fairness in decision-making is a critical one, especially given the variety of stakeholder demands for differing and mutually incompatible versions of fairness. Adopting a strategic interaction of perspectives provides an…

The deployment of edge computing infrastructure requires a careful placement of the edge servers, with an aim to improve application latencies and reduce data transfer load in opportunistic Internet of Things systems. In the edge server…

Ensuring fair outcomes for multiple stakeholders in recommender systems has been studied mostly in terms of algorithmic interventions: building new models with better fairness properties, or using reranking to improve outcomes from an…

A recent advance in networking is the deployment of path-aware multipath network architectures, where network endpoints are given multiple network paths to send their data on. In this work, we tackle the challenge of selecting paths for…

We study the problem of enforcing continuous group fairness over windows in data streams. We propose a novel fairness model that ensures group fairness at a finer granularity level (referred to as block) within each sliding window. This…

In Cloud systems, we often deal with jobs that arrive and depart in an online manner. Upon its arrival, a job should be assigned to a server. Each job has a size which defines the amount of resources that it needs. Servers have uniform…

In this document we study the application of weighted proportional fairness to data flows in the Internet. We let the users set the weights of their connections in order to maximise the utility they get from the network. When combined with…

We study the online metric matching problem. There are $m$ servers and $n$ requests located in a metric space, where all servers are available upfront and requests arrive one at a time. Upon the arrival of a new request, it needs to be…

Scaling data storage is a significant concern in enterprise systems and Storage Area Networks (SANs) are deployed as a means to scale enterprise storage. SANs based on Fibre Channel have been used extensively in the last decade while iSCSI…

We present a comparative analysis of the maximum performance achieved by the Linpack benchmark on compute intensive hardware publicly available from multiple cloud providers. We study both performance within a single compute node, and…

Contrary to the conclusions of a recent body of work where approximate shortest remaining processing time first (SRPT) flow scheduling is advocated for datacenter networks, this paper aims to demonstrate that per-flow fairness remains a…

Rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) provides a flexible transmission framework that can be applied in mobile edge computing (MEC) systems. However, the research work on RSMA-assisted MEC systems is still at the infancy and many design…

Modern Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) include applications like smart traffic, smart agriculture, smart power grid, etc. Commonly, these systems are distributed and composed of end-user applications and microservices that typically run in the…

Geocasting is the delivery of packets to nodes within a certain geographic area. For many applications in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, geocasting is an important and frequent communication service. The challenging problem in…

We study the online bounded-delay packet scheduling problem (BDPS), where packets of unit size arrive at a router over time and need to be transmitted over a network link. Each packet has two attributes: a non-negative weight and a deadline…

Networks can now process data as well as transporting it; it follows that they can support multiple services, each requiring different key performance indicators (KPIs). Because of the former, it is critical to efficiently allocate network…

The Cloud Computing paradigm consists in providing customers with virtual services of the quality which meets customers' requirements. A cloud service operator is interested in using his infrastructure in the most efficient way while…

This paper considers max-min fair rate allocation and routing in energy harvesting networks where fairness is required among both the nodes and the time slots. Unlike most previous work on fairness, we focus on multihop topologies and…

Unlike traditional file transfer where only total delay matters, streaming applications impose delay constraints on each packet and require them to be in order. To achieve fast in-order packet decoding, we have to compromise on the…

We investigate the online fair allocation problem with sequentially arriving items under various input models, with the goal of balancing fairness and efficiency. We propose the unconstrained PACE (Pacing According to Current Estimated…
