In the present paper we propose a multi-objective optimization procedure inspired by the famous secretary problem from optimal stopping theory. the proposed algorithm is designed to be applied to multi-attribute decision making problems that require fair solutions to be obtained. We consider two fairness relations, namely maxmin fairness and proportional fairness, and the evaluation is performed on...
Proportional fairness is a concept from resource sharing tasks among n users, where each user receives at least 1/n of her or his total value of the infinitely divisible resource. Here we provide an approach to proportional fairness that allows its extension to discrete domains, as well as for the direct application of evolutionary computation to approximate proportional fair states. We employ the...
Maxmin fairness can be characterized as a state obtained from the application of the bottleneck flow control algorithm, allowing for a formally efficient definition of a fairness concept. But a number of problems with the related maxmin fairness vector relation, esp. non-uniqueness of the maximum, preference for improving least components, artefacts appearing in the discrete domain, and lack of numerical...
We use design principles of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms to define algorithms capable of approximating maximum sets of relations in general. The specific case of fairness relations is considered here, which play a prominent role in the control of resource sharing in data networks. We study maxmin fairness allocation in networks with linear congestion control. Among various...
