1 Fairly Balanced The Politics of Representation on Government Advisory Committees

by Volume Xx Number X, Mark B. Brown
"... The United States Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requires advisory committees to be “fairly balanced. ” By examining legislative, judicial, and administrative interpretations of FACA’s balance requirement, this article identifies a prevailing double standard: public officials assess committee ..."

A model of growth through creative destruction

by Philippe Aghion, Peter Howitt , 1990
"... This paper develops a model based on Schumpeter's process of creative destruction. It departs from existing models of endogeneous growth in emphasizing obsolescence of old technologies induced by the accumulation of knowledge and the resulting process or industrial innovations. This has both ..."

a tendency for laissez-faire economies to generate too many innovations, i.e too much growth. This "business-stealing" effect is partly compensated by the fact that innovations tend to be too small under laissez-faire. The model possesses a unique balanced growth equilibrium in which

HEED: A Hybrid, Energy-Efficient, Distributed Clustering Approach for Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

by Ossama Younis, Sonia Fahmy - IEEE TRANS. MOBILE COMPUTING , 2004
"... Topology control in a sensor network balances load on sensor nodes and increases network scalability and lifetime. Clustering sensor nodes is an effective topology control approach. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed clustering approach for long-lived ad hoc sensor networks. Our proposed ..."

Barely or Fairly Balancing Drug Risks? Content and Format Effects in Direct-to-Consumer Online Prescription Drug Promotions

by Jeremy Kees, Paula Fitzgerald Bone, John Kozup, Pam Scholder Ellen
"... A critical requirement of direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug promotion on the Internet is the concept of fair balance. This means that prescription drug Web sites should provide an accurate, balanced portrayal of the risks relative to the benefits of using prescription medications. However, one of the mo ..."

Cross Layer Optimization for Fairness Balancing Based on Adaptively Weighted Utility Functions in OFDMA Systems

by Jianwei Wang, Timo Korhonen, Yuping Zhao
"... Abstract—Cross layer optimization based on utility functions has been recently studied extensively, meanwhile, numerous types of utility functions have been examined in the corresponding literature. However, a major drawback is that most utility functions take a fixed mathematical form or are based ..."

on simple combining, which can not fully exploit available information. In this paper, we formulate a framework of cross layer optimization based on Adaptively Weighted Utility Functions (AWUF) for fairness balancing in OFDMA networks. Under this framework, a two-step allocation algorithm is provided as a

The price of stability for network design with fair cost allocation

by Elliot Anshelevich, Anirban Dasgupta, Jon Kleinberg, Éva Tardos, Tom Wexler, Tim Roughgarden - In Proceedings of the 45th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS , 2004
"... Abstract. Network design is a fundamental problem for which it is important to understand the effects of strategic behavior. Given a collection of self-interested agents who want to form a network connecting certain endpoints, the set of stable solutions — the Nash equilibria — may look quite differ ..."

that can be proposed from which no user will defect. We consider the price of stability for network design with respect to one of the most widely-studied protocols for network cost allocation, in which the cost of each edge is divided equally between users whose connections make use of it; this fair

Distributed Clustering in Ad-hoc Sensor Networks: A Hybrid, Energy-Efficient Approach

by Ossama Younis, Sonia Fahmy , 2004
"... Prolonged network lifetime, scalability, and load balancing are important requirements for many ad-hoc sensor network applications. Clustering sensor nodes is an effective technique for achieving these goals. In this work, we propose a new energy-efficient approach for clustering nodes in adhoc sens ..."

exchanged. It also achieves fairly uniform cluster head distribution across the network. A careful selection of the secondary clustering parameter can balance load among cluster heads. Our simulation results demonstrate that HEED outperforms weight-based clustering protocols in terms of several cluster

Fairness in routing and load balancing

by Jon Kleinberg, Yuval Rabani, Éva Tardos - J. Comput. Syst. Sci , 1999
"... We consider the issue of network routing subject to explicit fairness conditions. The optimization of fairness criteria interacts in a complex fashion with the optimization of network utilization and throughput; in this work, we undertake an investigation of this relationship through the framework o ..."

Fairness and Load Balancing in Wireless LANs Using Association Control

by Yigal Bejerano, Seung-Jae Han, Li (Erran) Li
"... Recent studies on operational wireless LANs (WLANs) have shown that the traffic load is often unevenly distributed among the access points (APs). Such load imbalance results in unfair bandwidth allocation among users. We argue that the load imbalance and consequent unfair bandwidth allocation can ..."

. We provide a rigorous formulation of the association control problem, considering bandwidth constraints of both the wireless and backhaul links. We show the strong correlation between fairness and load balancing, which enables us to use load balancing techniques for obtaining optimal max-min fair
